After Action Report
The Magic downed the Pistons 120-101. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
