After Action Report
In Orlando, the Pistons squeaked past the Magic 104-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
