Key Performances and Game Highlights


Darius Garland emerged as a standout performer for the Cavaliers with an impressive 25 points, complemented by four assists and three rebounds. His shooting accuracy was on full display as he hit 50 percent from the field and was flawless from the free-throw line. Evan Mobley also made significant contributions with a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds, asserting his dominance on both ends of the court.


The Cavaliers' bench played a pivotal role in securing this win, contributing an impressive 52 points to their total score. This depth proved too much for Orlando Magic's defense which managed to block only four shots throughout the game.

Orlando did find some rhythm offensively in the second half, thanks largely to their fast break efforts that accounted for 21 of their total points. However, their efficiency from beyond the arc was lacking; they shot just 33 percent from three-point range compared to Cleveland's more robust 40 percent.


Looking Ahead


The Cleveland Cavaliers will next face off against Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum on November 2nd at 8:00 PM EDT. Fans can catch all the action live on FDSWI or FDSOH networks as Cleveland looks to continue its unbeaten run into Milwaukee territory.
