After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Magic 110-88. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
