After Action Report
The Pacers ran roughshod over the Magic 123-79. Pacers torched the Magic on the offensive end. Pacers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Pacers' 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.
