After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic downed the Pistons 104-90. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
