After Action Report
The Pistons knocked off the Magic 110-101. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
