After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 135-89. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
