After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Pacers 104-100. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
