After Action Report
The Magic buried the Nets 105-85. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
