After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Magic outlasted the Nets 105-99. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
