After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic survived the Timberwolves 109-107. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
