After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic fended off the Nets 103-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
