After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic downed the Mavericks 109-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
