After Action Report
The Magic shocked the Cavaliers 102-91. Every possession went the Magic way. The Magic came in with something to prove after a loss; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
