Cleveland Cavaliers Defeat Orlando Magic 106-94 to Advance to Face Boston Celtics in Eastern Conference Semifinals

Cleveland – Orlando : 106-94

• Cleveland wins the series 4-3 and will meet Boston

We had to have home advantage in this series of the first round of the playoffs in the East. While both teams won all matches in front of their home crowd, Cleveland once again took advantage of the support of its fans to conclude this first round against Orlando (106-94). The Cavs will now have a few hours to rest before tackling the big part of this Eastern Conference on Tuesday. : the Boston Celtics. But they know that they will be able to count on a fiery Donovan Mitchell in any case.

The former Jazz back signed another recital this Sunday. After scoring 50 points in Game 6, he again hurt the Magic defense with 39 points. It was he who guided his people. And the revolt sounded when the Cavs were trailing by 18 points in the second quarter after a catastrophic start to the match. In his wake, the match turned in the third quarter. And after that, it was a one-sided affair.

Because if the Cavs were able to find the resources to redress the situation, Orlando may have suffered the pressure of match 7. The Magic missed the address in this decisive match (33.7% success), at the image of Franz Wagner (6 pts to 1 out of 14 shooting), Jalen Suggs (10 pts to 2 out of 13) and even Paolo Banchero (38 pts to 10 out of 28, and 16 rebounds). The Florida franchise is therefore going on vacation but has gained experience and now knows what it must improve to continue its progress. Cleveland will have to raise its voice to hope to shake the Celtics who are fresh and sure of their strength.
