After Action Report
In Detroit, the Magic upended the Pistons 112-102. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' stars took over and bent the game to their will. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
