After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Pistons 131-77. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
