After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Magic 98-95. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Cavaliers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
