After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Magic outlasted the Timberwolves 102-90. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. 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.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
