After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Pistons 121-110. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
