After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Magic 132-87. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; the Magic bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
