After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Pistons 120-98. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
