After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Magic survived the Spurs 121-120. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

  • Spurs · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
