After Action Report
In Orlando, the Trail Blazers outlasted the Magic 111-97. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
