After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Magic 114-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic are in a full-on tailspin; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
