After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic buried the Pistons 143-118. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
