After Action Report
The Magic edged the Cavaliers 96-90. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. The Magic played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
