After Action Report
The Magic snuck past the Cavaliers 91-89. Ugly basketball, but the Magic did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Magic; Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
