After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Magic 127-103. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.

- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
