After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Magic 141-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
