After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic pulled away from the Hawks 116-106. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
