After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Trail Blazers 101-98. Magic's offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
