After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic squeaked past the Trail Blazers 88-87. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
