What a nail-biter! The Cleveland Cavaliers secured a stunning 106-94 win against the Orlando Magic in Game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference first-round playoffs at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. This hard-fought series now stands at 4-3 in favor of Cleveland.
Both teams showed incredible resilience, having each won all three of their home games leading up to this decisive match. Despite the Cavaliers having the chance to end the series on their home court, they stumbled early on, getting overpowered by the Magic's size, power, and athleticism. 🏋️♂️
Enter Paolo Banchero! The superstar kept finding mismatches against smaller defenders and dominated the paint, turning the tide for the Magic. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers focused their defense on having Evan Mobley protect the rim, but this strategy left mid-range and downtown shots too easy for Orlando.
With this victory, the Cavaliers are gearing up to face the Boston Celtics in the Eastern semifinals. Game 1 kicks off at TD Garden in Boston on Tuesday. Stay tuned for more electrifying basketball action! 🌟
