After Action Report
In Orlando, the Cavaliers outlasted the Magic 131-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
