After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic handled the Pacers 117-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
