In Cleveland, the Cavaliers handled the Magic 109-96. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- 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.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
