Orlando Magic HQ Bleav Basketball

The Orlando Magic are down 2-0 in the first-round series against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Magic's defense has been solid, holding the Cavs to under 100 points in both games. However, the Magic are struggling offensively, scoring only 83 and 86 points in the two games.

The Cavs' defense is preventing the Magic from playing their usual style, particularly in the paint. The Magic are also struggling with rebounding, allowing the Cavs to get numerous offensive rebounds. Turnovers and slow starts have further hindered the Magic's performance. Despite the challenges, the Magic still have a chance to turn the series around in the upcoming home games.
