After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Magic 117-102. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
