After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic downed the Nets 129-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
