After Action Report

The Magic took care of the Wizards 133-117. Magic's offense had its way with the Wizards. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Wizards · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
