After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Pistons 104-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic steamroller is in full effect right now; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
