After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Mavericks 99-95. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
