After Action Report
In Orlando, the Pistons squeaked past the Magic 95-92. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
