After Action Report
The Magic buried the Pistons 136-85. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
