After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Magic 100-97. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
