After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Pistons 124-99. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
