Cavs, Magic set for decisive Game 7 in Cleveland

Deadspin - 14 days ago - The Cleveland Cavaliers recorded 48 wins during the regular season, one more than the Orlando Magic.

Three stars from Friday’s NBA playoffs

YardBarker - 14 days ago - The Magic forced a Game 7, and the Mavericks used "Luka Magic" to send the Clippers home. Here are three stars from Friday’s NBA playoffs. Donovan Mitchell scored over half of Cleveland’s points in their 103-96 loss to the Orlando Magic in Game 6, which pushed their first-round series to a Game Seven in Cleveland. He went 3-for-9 from distance, and a highly-efficient 19-of-27 on two-pointers. You could say Mitchell took on too much himself, but aside from Darius Garland’s 21 points and Max Strus’ 10 points and two three-pointers, he got almost no scoring from his teammates — six other Cavs combined for just 15 points.

Donovan Mitchell's 50-burger goes to waste as Magic dominate the offensive glass to force Game 7

YardBarker - 14 days ago - Donovan Mitchell scored 50 points and the Cavaliers shot over 50 percent, but the Magic stole Game 6 with offensive rebounding. Cole Anthony got a big offensive rebound and putback late to keep Orlando ahead with two minutes to go, and the Magic forced a Game 7 with a 103-96 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was one of 15 Orlando offensive boards in the game, compared to seven for Cleveland, two of which came in the game’s last eight seconds with the game out of reach. The Cavs were able to force misses late, but their inability to collect the rebounds doomed them. After stealing the ball from Mitchell late, Paolo Banchero (27 points) missed a three-pointer, but Jonathan Isaac corralled the miss and Banchero hit two free throws. With just over four minutes left, Jalen Suggs grabbed a Wendell Carter Jr. miss and hit a three-pointer of his own.
