After Action Report
The Magic edged the Pistons 110-102. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
