After Action Report
In Orlando, the Pistons pulled away from the Magic 106-93. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
