After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Magic squeaked past the Nets 123-120. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
