After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic squeaked past the Mavericks 123-119. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
