After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Magic 119-90. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
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.
