After Action Report

In Washington, the Magic edged the Wizards 105-99. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
