After Action Report

The Magic squeaked past the Wizards 94-93. The Wizards couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Wizards' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
