After Action Report
The Magic handled the Cavaliers 97-81. Magic's offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Magic's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Magic's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Magic locker room is humming, and it showed. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
