After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Pistons 117-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
