After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Warriors 89-87. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Warriors. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
