After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic handled the Cavaliers 102-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Magic stayed locked in; Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Cavaliers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Magic · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
