The Cavaliers have shown resilience and strategic prowess in their past games.

This win was characterized by a balanced attack and solid defense, with notable contributions across the board.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Cleveland. In an earlier matchup against Orlando at Kia Center, they faced challenges that led to an 83-121 defeat. This game highlighted areas for improvement as they struggled defensively and were unable to contain Orlando's fast-paced offense which resulted in a significant points difference.
