After Action Report

The Magic took care of the Cavaliers 124-107. The Magic got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Magic bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
