After Action Report
In Orlando, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Magic 113-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
