After Action Report

The Magic ran roughshod over the Pacers 133-85. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
