My pet theory is that it’s always better to be the road team on holidays. There are fewer distractions. Everything is planned for you, and you have an edge because you’re irritated you’re away from home. Also, you’re bonding with your teammates over missing out on your favorite Turkey day side dishes you’re missing. The Cavs sure seemed to be looking ahead to Thanksgiving in this one, as they gave up 25 turnovers leading to 25 points for a Magic squad missing their two best players (Vucevic and Aaron Gordon). The Cavs were the beneficiary of 11 magic turnovers leading to 11 points, and yeah, you do the math.
Recap: Orlando 116, Cleveland 104 (or, Turkey Turnovers)
