After Action Report
In Detroit, the Magic snuck past the Pistons 103-98. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
