After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Pacers 100-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
