After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Magic 102-95. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
