After Action Report
The Magic fended off the Nets 96-89. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
