After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Magic 110-100. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
