After Action Report
The Magic survived the Nets 106-105. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
