After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Magic 110-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
