After Action Report
The Magic buried the Pistons 111-88. Magic's offense had its way with the Pistons. The Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
