After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Pistons 140-106. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
