After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Timberwolves 121-120. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
