After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Magic 114-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
