Cavs' 16-Game Win Streak Ends in Loss to Magic

Orlando's Paolo Banchero delivered a clutch performance, while Cleveland struggled with shooting and late-game execution.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' franchise-record 16-game winning streak ended with a 108-103 loss to the Orlando Magic at home.
Donovan Mitchell returned after a two-game absence, scoring 23 points, but struggled with efficiency, shooting just 32.1% from the field.
Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists, including a critical jumper in the final minute to secure Orlando's win.
Head coach Kenny Atkinson highlighted Cleveland's poor late-game execution and inability to adapt to Orlando's defensive adjustments as key factors in the loss.
The Cavaliers were without Evan Mobley due to a foot injury, leaving a gap in their interior presence as they prepare for a challenging West Coast road trip.
