After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Magic 130-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
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.
