After Action Report
The Pistons downed the Magic 119-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
