After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Magic 97-89. Pistons torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
