After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic blew the doors off the Pistons 130-107. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
