After Action Report
The Magic buried the Pistons 110-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
