After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Magic 122-118. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
