After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Pistons 126-100. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
