After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Cavaliers 107-93. Magic's starting five clicked while the Cavaliers looked disjointed. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
