After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Pacers 120-97. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pacers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
