Orlando Magic to Face Cleveland Cavaliers in NBA Playoffs
Magic and Cavaliers Split Regular Season Series
The Orlando Magic will face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The two teams split their regular season series, with each team winning one game. The best-of-seven series will begin on Saturday, April 18th, at 10:00 AM.
Cleveland Holds Edge on Perimeter
One notable edge that the Cavaliers held over the Magic during the regular season was on the perimeter. Cleveland outscored Orlando by nearly 15 points per game from beyond the three-point line. The Cavaliers also shot a higher percentage from three-point range (38.5%) than the Magic (34.2%).
The Magic will need to find a way to improve their perimeter defense if they want to have success against the Cavaliers in the playoffs. The Cavaliers have several players who can shoot the three-ball well, including Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Caris LeVert.
