- Analysis
- The Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers play game two of their first round playoff series here on Monday from the Rocket Mortgage fieldhouse in Cleveland. These teams split their four games during the regular season but the Cavs took game one of the series the other day, 97-83. Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points for the Cavs. The Magic were led by Paolo Banchero who scored 24 points in his first playoff game. The Magic cut the lead to just 60-56 with 4:24 left in the third quarter. However, a 13-2 run by the Cavs ended the Magic hopes. The Cavs also made their first five 3-point shots of the game. These teams are very close in talent and coaching and while the Cavs pulled away in game one I expect a much closer game here on Monday. I'll take the points with a much more focused Magic team today. Play Orlando.
