After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Timberwolves 116-115. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. 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. Style points be damned.
