After Action Report

The Magic fended off the Clippers 124-117. The breakneck pace played right into Magic's hands. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Clippers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
