After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic demolished the Trail Blazers 107-74. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
