FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 103-96 win over the Orlando Magic at Amway Center
BENCH BOUNCES BACK – One game after their worst performance of the season in a loss to Miami, Dwane Casey’s bench saved the Pistons. Twice. The Pistons dug holes for themselves with sluggish starts to each half but closed both the first and third quarters with rallies to get back in the game. They trailed 31-16 before a 10-0 run in the final minute of the first quarter pulled them within five. They eventually went ahead by 10 and led by seven at halftime, but quickly fell behind by 11 points as Orlando went on a 27-9 run to open the quarter.
