After Action Report

The Magic blew the doors off the Wizards 121-101. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
