After Action Report
The Magic buried the Clippers 125-98. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Clippers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
