After Action Report

The Magic snuck past the Pistons 109-105. Magic's offense had its way with the Pistons. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
