NBA playoffs: Magic force Game 7 with 103–96 win over Cavaliers, despite Donovan Mitchell's 50 points

The Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers will play a Game 7 in their first-round NBA playoff series, despite Donovan Mitchell, scoring 50 points for the Cavs.

Franz Wagner tallied 26 points (going 11-for-11 from the free throw line) and Jalen Suggs added 22 (shooting 6-for-13 on three-pointers) as the Magic attempt to win their first playoff series since the 2009-10 season.

Game 7 in Cleveland is scheduled for Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Fortune seemed to smile on the Magic from the start. That was best demonstrated on a play midway through the first quarter.
