After Action Report
The Magic edged the Pacers 107-98. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
