After Action Report
In Dallas, the Magic took care of the Mavericks 115-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
