After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons survived the Magic 102-99. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
