After Action Report

The Spurs squeaked past the Magic 100-96. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. The Spurs carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
