After Action Report

In Cleveland, the Cavaliers rolled past the Magic 110-77. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Magic · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
