After Action Report
The Magic downed the Mavericks 114-99. Magic's offense had its way with the Mavericks. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
