After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Magic 112-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Grizzlies' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
