After Action Report

The Magic edged the Wizards 107-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
