After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic ran roughshod over the Suns 120-85. Magic's offense had its way with the Suns. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
