After Action Report

In a track meet, the Magic outlasted the Nets 121-115. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
