Orlando lost its sixth straight & eighth in its last nine games after being eliminated at home by Atlanta on Wednesday night. The Magic slipped to 5-17 on the season and finished last in the Southeast Division, 7 games behind the Hawks. Orlando trailed 18-10 in the final 4:33 of the opening game against Atlanta, turning a three-point deficit into an 11-point deficit. Orlando shot 49.4 percent from the field, including 8 of 27 three-pointers, allowing Atlanta to shoot 54.3 percent. Franz Wagner led the Magic with 22 pts and six rebounds in the loss.
Cleveland beat Philadelphia on Wednesday night for their sixth win in eight games. The Cavaliers have improved to 14 wins and eight losses this season, ranking second in the Central Division, 2 wins behind the Bucks, and ranking first in the division. Against Philadelphia, Cleveland outscored Philadelphia 7-2 in the final 1:35 of the opening game, leading by four after 12 minutes of play. The Cavaliers broke the game on 16 of 17 shots in the second quarter, outscoring the Sixers 44-27 for a 21-point halftime advantage. Cleveland kept Philadelphia from approaching in the second half and led by as many as 33 points. The Cavaliers shot 60.8% from the field, 15 of 29 three-pointers, and a 40-30 rebounding battle with 19 turnovers. Caris LeVert led Cleveland with 22 points in the win.
The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the league in scoring defense, getting output from players up and down the rotation. LeVert led 5 players in double figures in a win over Philadelphia on Wednesday night as Cleveland lit the Nets on more than 60 percent of their field goals. Orlando is dealing with their injury problems, as the absence of Bamba and Carter Jr. sapped the depth of the frontcourt, while injuries to Harris and Suggs made the backcourt challenging. There aren’t enough weapons to keep Orlando here, which gives the Cavaliers another win.
