After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Trail Blazers 90-87. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
