After Action Report
The Magic downed the Pistons 100-88. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
