After Action Report
The Magic demolished the Pacers 128-97. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
