After Action Report
The Pacers snuck past the Magic 99-96. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
