After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Wizards 128-109. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
