After Action Report
In Portland, the Magic ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 153-112. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Magic carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.
