After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic outlasted the Cavaliers 103-93. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; the Magic came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
