After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Pistons 103-99. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
