After Action Report

In Orlando, the Wizards buried the Magic 112-80. Wizards' scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. The Wizards rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
