After Action Report
The Magic downed the Mavericks 102-84. Every possession went the Magic way. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
