After Action Report
The Magic survived the Pistons 105-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
