After Action Report
The Spurs edged the Magic 104-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
