2023-24 Playoffs | Game #1 | Magic @ Cavs | April 20, 2024

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Good effort today, but the turnovers, Man - 14 from our starting backcourt.
 
Man, the inconsistency from the refs was frustrating. Sometimes the players were allowed to play super physical then other times they got called for ticky tack fouls. The Magic got away with so many travels. Niang got a tech for taunting but Mo Wagner didn’t. I just want some consistency

There was no panic from this team, even as the three point shot abandoned them and as the Magic closed the gap.

Wherever they end up by the end of June, I can at least take some immense satisfaction from watching this team finally grow a pair and overcome their first taste of adversity this postseason.

That was huge. With 4:24 left in the 3rd quarter Banchero made a 3-point play to close the gap to 4 points after the Cavs led by 11 at halftime. But the Cavs did not break when they felt the hot breath on their necks. Instead they went on a 13-2 run to close out the 3rd with a 15-point lead.

In the 4th the Magic cut the lead to 9 with 7 minutes to go, but the Cavs responded and pushed the lead out to 14 in the next two minutes and held on from there.

Realizing they weren't making 3's they started attacking the rim more, especially Mitchell and LeVert. Good decision.
 
Cavs with a solid, convincing win!

We won every quarter but the 4th. We held the to 42 points in the 2nd half, 41 in the first half!

We outshot, out rebounded, out assisted them.
