After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Mavericks 124-82. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
