After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic snuck past the Clippers 113-112. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Clippers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
