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.
