After Action Report

The Pistons buried the Magic 113-83. Pistons' offense had its way with the Magic. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
