Slow Start Sinks Cavs in Magic Kingdom

Wrap-Up -- The Magic owed the Cavaliers one from the tough loss they took less than two weeks ago at The Q. And they played like it.

Orlando jumped on the Cavaliers early and never let up – running out to a double-digit lead late in the first quarter and barely looking back from there, taking the 120-91 decision, and the season series, on Thursday night at the Amway Center.

The Magic – hungry for their first postseason appearance since 2011-12 – was all business from the opening tip and didn’t let Cleveland come up for air the rest of the way, handing out 31 assists on 45 made baskets, drilling 14 triples and committing just nine turnovers on the night.
