After Action Report
In Orlando, the Nuggets handled the Magic 110-99. Every possession went the Nuggets way. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
