After Action Report

The Warriors handled the Magic 122-112. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
