After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic handled the Heat 101-91. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
