After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Nets 129-124. Magic torched the Nets on the offensive end. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
