After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Clippers 104-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Clippers; Clippers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
