After Action Report

In a track meet, the Magic snuck past the Raptors 129-128 in overtime. Magic torched the Raptors on the offensive end. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Raptors' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
