A strong defensive second-half, holding the Magic to just 33 points, propelled the Pistons to victory in this one. Former Raptor Terrence Ross led Orlando with 19 points, while Luke Kennard had 20 for the Pistons. Andre Drummond cleaned up many of the Orlando 2nd half misses, finishing with 18 'boards. Great solo trip to the D and a cheap ($10) mezzanine level ticket.

The day before walking over 30,000 steps at Disney World, Mandy and I entered the Amway Center early -and once we got to our seats behind the bench, the security guard suggested we actually go into the tunnel instead, where we could see the team run out before the game. From there, CJ signed my jersey, much of the team signed a pair of Dame's Adidas, and he and I took a photo together. We got free food through the tickets we bought, and we sat next to Tobias Harris's personal chef. The Magic retired Hedo Turkoglu's number on this night.
