After Action Report
The Magic buried the Cavaliers 123-82. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
