After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Nets 95-87. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
