After Action Report
The Magic buried the Pistons 129-86. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
