After Action Report
The Magic survived the Mavericks 137-135 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
