After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons fended off the Magic 120-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
