After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Magic 109-98. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
