After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 120-86. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
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.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
