After Action Report
The Magic squeaked past the Cavaliers 106-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
