After Action Report

In Denver, the Magic ran roughshod over the Nuggets 148-109. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
