After Action Report
In Orlando, the Warriors survived the Magic 86-83. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Warriors lately. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
