After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Magic 101-90. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
