After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Nuggets 109-106. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Magic lately. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
