After Action Report

The Magic took care of the Cavaliers 115-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
