After Action Report

In Orlando, the Kings blew the doors off the Magic 138-96. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Kings came in with something to prove after a loss; the Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
