After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic blew the doors off the Spurs 121-95. Magic torched the Spurs on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
