After Action Report
The Magic handled the Wizards 105-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
