After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Magic 119-104. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
