After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Magic 123-119. Pistons torched the Magic on the offensive end. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
