After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons pulled away from the Magic 131-120. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
