After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Magic 107-98. Lineup balance gave the Cavaliers a clear synergy edge. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
