After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Pacers 100-90. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
