After Action Report
The Magic outlasted the Cavaliers 114-99. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
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.
