After Action Report
In Indiana, the Magic survived the Pacers 112-111. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
