After Action Report

In Orlando, the Magic rolled past the Cavaliers 117-94. Every possession went the Magic way. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
