After Action Report
The Magic rolled past the Cavaliers 118-96. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
