After Action Report

The Magic blew the doors off the Mavericks 102-82. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
