After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Magic 119-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · 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.
- 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.
