After Action Report

The Pistons downed the Magic 112-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
