After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Magic 111-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
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.
