After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic buried the Nets 123-97. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
