After Action Report
In Detroit, the Magic ran roughshod over the Pistons 120-94. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
