After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Raptors 94-92. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Raptors looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
