After Action Report

The Pistons ran roughshod over the Magic 110-88. Pistons torched the Magic on the offensive end. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · 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.
