After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Magic 116-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Magic's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
