After Action Report
The Magic downed the Mavericks 97-87. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
