The target was Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr.
The weapon was his own girlfriend.
As the Magic big man stepped to the stripe during Detroit’s 116-94 blowout win, a deafening chant of "AN-GEL RE-ESE" rained from the rafters.
The backstory is all soap opera.
Before dating Carter Jr., Reese was linked to Pistons star Jalen Duren.
The blood boiled over during this series when Angel Reese posted Instagram highlights of Carter Jr.
dunking on Duren, captioned: "PLAY THE SONGGGGG."

Pistons fans did not forget.
And the tactic worked.
While Duren played like a man possessed with a 15-point and 15-rebound double-double, Carter Jr.
looked rattled.
The Motor City faithful reminded him at every dead ball exactly who was watching.

Detroit moves on.
