After Action Report

The Magic squeaked past the Cavaliers 109-104. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Magic. The Magic couldn't shake the cold spell; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
