Magic Snap Cavaliers' 16-Game Winning Streak with 108-103 Victory
Orlando's defensive adjustments and clutch performances by Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner ended Cleveland's historic run and exposed areas for improvement ahead of the playoffs.
- The Cleveland Cavaliers' 16-game franchise-record winning streak ended with a 108-103 home loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday.
- Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 24 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, including a decisive jumper in the final minute of the game.
- Orlando's defense limited Cleveland to under 25 points in each of the final three quarters and forced 13 turnovers, disrupting the Cavs' offensive rhythm.
- Cleveland struggled with shooting, hitting just 25% from three-point range and missing five potential game-tying shots in the final 30 seconds.
- The Cavaliers, now 56-11, remain the NBA's top team but will look to address their response to physicality and execution issues as they prepare for a challenging West Coast road trip.
