After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Nets 99-79. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
