After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 118-82. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
