After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Magic 116-72. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
