After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Pistons 100-92. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
