After Action Report
The Magic held off the Nets 131-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
