After Action Report
The Magic survived the Jazz 123-118. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
