After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Pistons 115-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic steamroller is in full effect right now. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
