After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic survived the Nuggets 95-91. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
