After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Mavericks 115-113. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
