After Action Report
In Memphis, the Magic survived the Grizzlies 105-102. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
