After Action Report
In Orlando, the Magic took care of the Cavaliers 110-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Magic carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
