After Action Report
The Magic handled the Pistons 112-96. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
