After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Magic rolled past the Timberwolves 136-106. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
