After Action Report
The Magic handled the Pistons 101-89. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
