After Action Report
The Pacers shocked the Magic 122-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
