After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic ran roughshod over the Kings 111-88. Every possession went the Magic way. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
