After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers edged the Magic 102-96. The Cavaliers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
