After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Pistons 102-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
