After Action Report
In Indiana, the Magic snuck past the Pacers 106-101. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- 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.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
