After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Magic 107-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Magic couldn't shake the cold spell. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
