After Action Report
In Orlando, the Cavaliers rolled past the Magic 128-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
