After Action Report
The Nets fended off the Magic 118-112. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Nets stayed locked in; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
