After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers buried the Magic 123-102. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Magic. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
