After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Pistons 137-110. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
