After Action Report

The Magic pulled away from the Cavaliers 120-107. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
