After Action Report
In a track meet, the Magic buried the Cavaliers 133-94. Magic controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
