After Action Report

The Magic outlasted the Mavericks 113-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
