After Action Report
In Orlando, the Spurs squeaked past the Magic 101-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
