After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Kings 97-92. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
