After Action Report

The Magic demolished the Nets 117-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 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. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
