After Action Report
The Magic edged the Raptors 96-89. Magic torched the Raptors on the offensive end. The Magic ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
