After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic ran roughshod over the Wizards 118-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Wizards pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
