After Action Report
The Magic held off the Cavaliers 107-101. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Magic. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
