After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Magic outlasted the Cavaliers 112-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- 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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
