Cavaliers 107, Magic 96: Donovan Mitchell makes threes, Magic do not

Donovan Mitchell nearly made more threes than the Orlando Magic during the Cavs’ 107-96 win on Friday.

The Magic opened the game by making their first five shots, which included Markelle Fultz converting a floater and a drive to the basket. But Mitchell helped keep pace by scoring 10 of the Cavs first 13 points. A three by Mitchell capped an 14-2 Cleveland run that opened a 22-15 lead. Mitchell finished with 16 points in the first on 6-for-8 shooting.

The Magic still outshot the Cavs in the quarter, shooting 58.8 percent in the quarter. But they committed six turnovers, three of which were by Bol Bol, to make things easy for Cleveland.
