After Action Report
In Detroit, the Magic buried the Pistons 118-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
