After Action Report
The Pacers downed the Magic 106-95. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
