After Action Report
The Magic ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 127-103. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
