After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Kings 117-97. Magic's offense had its way with the Kings. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
