CLEVELAND CAVALIERS VS. ORLANDO MAGIC GAME 4 INSTANT REACTION
The Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Orlando Magic 2-1 after 3 games of their first round, Eastern Conference NBA Playoff matchup.
Donovan Mitchell & Jarrett Allen played a great first half in game 4, helping the Cavs take a 9-point lead into the halftime break.
But in the third quarter, the Magic, led by Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero, came roaring back. Wagner outscored the Cavs in the third quarter by himself, 12-10, as the Magic won the quarter 37-10 to take an 18-point lead into the fourth quarter.
Jalen Suggs was also a menace, controlling both ends of the court.
Barring a crazy fourth quarter comeback, the Cavs will head back to Cleveland with the series tied 2-2.

Same basketball…Same dimensions….Same players….different venue so we have to play like total dog….no fight….no competiveness…..Donathan Mitchell is no LeBron
Why tf isn’t Marcus Morris playing? Right now we’re lacking toughness and leadership and he brings just that‼️
It’s not a weakness of your character to acknowledge that your enemy maybe as good or better than your team! With All do respect to The Cavs but You asked for this smoke 💨 and now you have to pay for it!!! Let’s Go Magic!!!
JB gone and Mitchell gone
You don’t research much…..the Magic has the 3rd best scoring bench in the NBA
Yall can’t score 100 cause yall wanted that Magic D 🪄 soooo bad.
this team has quit on JB period full stop … I think that Kolby Altman has to fire JB today to save his own job!!!
Bickerstaff needs to be fired!
Whatever happens the rest of the season I hate to say it but it’s time to move on from Mobley , Ocoro and JB.Everyone but Allen is trade bait to me.
If you didn't even know Franz Wagner and Banchero are 1A and 1B on the Magic and by advanced analytics Wagner is the best overall player on the Magic, you overlooked the Magic.
Basketball gods cursed the cavs for tanking that final regular season game…they got what they asked for!
Everyone blaming a coach bc overrated Garland blows, Mobley is soft, Mitchell is not even a 25 player, and no bench. Break it all down and rebuild. This team is not going anywhere, ever
They'll all be in Cancun next weekend
Donavan Mitchell carries himself like he’s a lot better of a player than he really is
Roster makeup is not good. JB is questionable. The Magic starters(all 5) are bigger than Cavs. Mitchell and Garland are both small. You cannot have both be short. Strus is a guard playing at SF. Even if they win home games, Celtics sweep em. Season over.
Orlando Magic….🚀👨🚀🪄🎱✨
The Magic play well at home but suck on the road. That being said if the Magic win the next one in Cleveland it’s over. All Cavs got to do is win at home.
JB bares some blame, but the players they signed to score and shoot 3's. he's stuck with 7 players, when it starts going bad why not bring in Morris, Sam Merriel, and Thompson, can they do any worse than Strus, and Neg? and Lavert, 5, 2 and 7 points between them. Why did the sign Strus? to score points, Cav's are mind beaten, the coach cannot make a new plan B, and he cannot make adjustments, while the other team does, and comes out with a 27-10 run, did not improve in the 2nd quarter and that is on JB not making changes, he loves his top 7 players the rest sit even as the ship is sinking. He sticks with the players who are not helping. If they win in Cleveland that will be a good surprise. Plan for the Cavs is beat the hell out of Garland and Mitchell and the game is a win, 2 small guards should not be the players you depend on to score 2-30 each.
"Do any of those guys off the bench scare you?" I mean, Mo Wagner has been one of the most efficient scoring bigs in the league, starter or bench, since he joined the Magic. He's like 90th percentile, top 10% of ALL players offensively. He's just not nearly good enough defensively. That guy should definitely scare you as a scorer off the bench. But again, a total lack of preparation by you when it came to the Magic.
I still have Cavaliers in 7, but they will need to stop trying to be tough and knock down shots. I'm a little surprised the Magic have 10 more threes than the Cavs but don't expect that trend to continue. I do think the Magic will continue to dominate the boards, the defense and the bench, despite what we saw in games 1 & 2. Magic will not lose game 6, so Cavaliers are on thin ice.
No disrespect meant at all but as a magic fan this is my favorite content to watch after we win
Cleveland cavaliers was 5gama
Donovan is gone. Poof! Hell, I wouldn't stay either. Just get something for him. Otherwise, the Cavs are squat.🎉
Allen only playing good because they don’t have a center lol
