After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Mavericks 114-103. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
