After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic handled the Cavaliers 112-101. The Magic won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Magic per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
