After Action Report
The Magic buried the Pistons 107-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
