After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 113-87. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Magic; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
