After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Kings 112-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
