After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic edged the Nets 93-87. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Nets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
