After Action Report
The Cavaliers rolled past the Magic 117-90. Cavaliers torched the Magic on the offensive end. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
