After Action Report
The Magic survived the Pacers 116-114. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
