After Action Report
The Magic edged the Pistons 129-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
