After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers buried the Magic 132-101. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
