GAME FLOW
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) _ Michael Curry scored 20 points and Jerry Stackhouse had 13 Thursday night as the Detroit Pistons finished their preseason schedule with a 112-100 victory over the Orlando Magic. The Pistons shot 65 percent to build an 11-point first-quarter lead. The closest the Magic got the rest of the game was seven early in the second period. Rookie Corey Maggette led Orlando with a preseason-high 17 points on 7-for-10 shooting. Matt Harpring and Michael Doleac each scored 10. Curry was 5-of-8 from the field, made all 10 of his free throws and finished with eight assists in 24 minutes. Marcus Brown added 11 points and Jerome Williams had 10 for the Pistons, who led 53-45 at halftime before increasing the lead to 21 after three quarters. Orlando's starting backcourt of Darrell Armstrong and Tariq Abdul-Wahad contributed to the Magic's shooting woes by going 5-for-21. Armstrong missed eight of 11 shots before being ejected for arguing with an official with 9:26 remaining in the third quarter. Grant Hill played 12 minutes in the first half and scored eight points for Detroit. Both teams finished the preseason 6-2.
