The Cleveland Cavaliers have extended their winning streak to eight games, defeating the Orlando Magic 122-82 on Tuesday night. Ty Jerome led the team with 20 points in 21 minutes, while Max Strus scored 17 points and made five 3-pointers. The Cavs shot an impressive 56.3% from the field and improved their record to 48-10.
Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 26 points, but they struggled from beyond the arc, going just 5 for 28 on 3-pointers. Franz Wagner added 19 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Cavs’ strong performance.
The victory marked a significant improvement over the Cavaliers’ playoff struggles in Orlando last April, where they lost all three games and shot just 24.1% from 3-point range. The team is now on a roll, with a record of 21-6 on the road without All-Star guard Darius Garland, who was injured in the game.
The Cavs will face the Boston Celtics next on Friday night, while the Magic host Golden State on Thursday.
