After Action Report
In a track meet, the Warriors rolled past the Magic 127-80. Warriors' defense smothered the Magic all night. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; the Warriors pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it

- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
