After Action Report

The Magic fended off the Nets 95-87. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
