After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Magic outlasted the Nets 115-103. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; the Nets are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
