After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 132-112. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
