After Action Report
In Memphis, the Magic demolished the Grizzlies 129-105. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
