After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 119-96. Magic's offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
