After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Magic 124-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
