After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the 76ers 127-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The 76ers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
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.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
