After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 123-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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 · 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.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
