After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Mavericks 110-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
