After Action Report
The Magic survived the Pistons 102-101. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
