After Action Report
The Magic pulled away from the Nets 119-104. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
