After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Spurs 107-103. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
