After Action Report
The Magic buried the Pistons 125-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
