On one hand, the Orlando Magic looked focused and energetic as ever. They flew to the ball for blocks and stymied a powerful Dallas Mavericks offense, using it to feed their transition play and get easy baskets.
Everything for the Magic came easy and the lead ballooned quickly.
On the other hand, the Mavericks constantly proved how quickly they could come back and make things interesting.
Orlando came out of the halftime locker room a bit too lax and unfocused. Dallas cut the 15-point halftime deficit to seven on a 10-2 run.
