After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks outlasted the Magic 114-102. Every possession went the Mavericks way. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
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.
