After Action Report
The Magic downed the Trail Blazers 113-99. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
