After Action Report
The Magic blew the doors off the Cavaliers 131-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Magic cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
