After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 132-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
