After Action Report
The Magic handled the Nets 87-70. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Nets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
