After Action Report
The Magic survived the Pacers 95-91. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
