After Action Report
The Magic edged the Nets 109-102. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
