After Action Report

The Magic pulled away from the Timberwolves 134-116. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
