After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Wizards 92-87. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
