After Action Report
In Philadelphia, the 76ers outlasted the Magic 88-81. Ugly basketball, but the 76ers did just enough. The 76ers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
