After Action Report
In Portland, the Magic squeaked past the Trail Blazers 109-104. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Magic are in a full-on tailspin; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
