Recap: Cavs 131, Magic 127 (or, Shootout At The Magic Kingdom)

If you like your basketball with more shooting and less resistance… then this contest between the Cavs and Magic in Orlando was for you. Defense was barely a rumor (with the exception of one decent quarter), as both teams fired away with regularity… putting up nearly 100 shots a piece (98 for the Magic, 96 for the Cavs) while hitting 50% of them. There were plenty of long range snipers (more than 70 combined), as well as point blank barrages with both teams scoring at least 60 points in the paint. Not to mention 25 fast break points each off of shots in transition.
