After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers buried the Magic 136-97. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Cavaliers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
