After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Pacers 91-88. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Pacers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pacers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
