After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 119-95. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
