After Action Report
The Cavaliers buried the Magic 121-100. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Magic owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Magic locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
