After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Magic 88-74. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
