After Action Report

The Magic outlasted the Timberwolves 104-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
