After Action Report

The Magic ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 123-101. Magic's offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
