After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Spurs 97-69. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
