After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Magic 119-101. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
