After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons held off the Magic 108-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
