After Action Report

The Magic rolled past the Nuggets 132-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
