After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic snuck past the Pistons 109-105. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
