After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Kings 101-95. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
