Magic Aim for Revenge Against Pistons

The Magic will play game two tonight in Detroit with physicality on the agenda.

In losing game one by 18 points, the Magic at times seemed overwhelmed by the physical play of the Pistons. Grabbing, holding, and heavy duty body contact in the post up area, proved to be disruptive enough to hold the Magic to a 72 point effort, their lowest point total of the season.

How the Magic react in game two may go a long way in determining the length of this series.

Dwight Howard, held to just 12 points and 8 rebounds in game one, must become a force for the Magic to get scoring balance from his teammates. Now, it'll be Stan Van Gundy's turn to make adjustments so that Howard roams free again. If successful, the Magic should be competitive against the Pistons.

If not, this series will be over very soon.
