After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic edged the Timberwolves 117-110. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
