After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic blew the doors off the Kings 118-98. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
