After Action Report
In Indiana, the Magic outlasted the Pacers 107-99. Magic torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pacers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
