After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Pistons 122-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic steamroller is in full effect right now. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
