After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic ran roughshod over the Wizards 118-92. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Magic pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Wizards bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
