After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Pacers 122-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
