After Action Report
The Magic held off the Wizards 102-96. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Wizards came in with something to prove after a loss. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Wizards utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
