After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Kings 104-100. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Kings 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. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
