After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Magic 125-82. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Magic's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Magic utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
