In Sacramento, the Magic demolished the Kings 113-76. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
