After Action Report
In Orlando, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 116-89. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
