After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Magic 87-84. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
