After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Trail Blazers 95-89. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
