After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Magic 131-96. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic are in a full-on tailspin. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Magic rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
