After Action Report

The Cavaliers outlasted the Magic 126-119. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
