After Action Report
The Magic took care of the Mavericks 143-126. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
