After Action Report
The Magic handled the Nets 115-96. Magic torched the Nets on the offensive end. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
