After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Pistons 125-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
