After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic upended the Wizards 116-108. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
