After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Magic 123-115. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
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 · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
