After Action Report

The Magic pulled away from the Nets 121-103. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
