After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons pulled away from the Magic 108-89. Pistons torched the Magic on the offensive end. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
