After Action Report
The Magic survived the Pacers 106-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; shots just aren't falling for the Pacers lately. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
