After Action Report

The Kings ran roughshod over the Magic 121-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
