After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Pistons 120-113. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
