After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings demolished the Magic 126-101. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
