After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Pacers 132-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic steamroller is in full effect right now. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it

- Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
