After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic snuck past the Nets 111-109. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
