After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Cavaliers 131-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
