After Action Report
The Magic held off the Pacers 102-96. Magic torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
