After Action Report

In a track meet, the Magic rolled past the Kings 124-104. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
