After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic snuck past the Wizards 112-111. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
