After Action Report
The Wizards ran roughshod over the Magic 133-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Wizards cashed in. Wizards' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Wizards bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Wizards · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Wizards · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
