After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Pistons 119-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
