After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Magic survived the Cavaliers 118-114. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Cavaliers. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Magic's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
