After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Mavericks 122-101. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
