It was a game of two faces, tonight’s Game-7 between Cleveland Cavaliers e Orlando Magic. After a first half dominated by Orlando, with Paul Banchero trailing by 24 points at halftime, the Cavs clawed back in the second half, recovering an 18-point deficit and winning 106-94.
Isaac Okoro’s defense of Banchero in the second half was decisive, but also the perfect night of Donovan Mitchell, author of 39 points with 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Lots of disappointment instead for the performance of Franz Wagner: the German, one of the best players in the series to date, ended Race-7 with 6 points and a horrid 1/15 from the field.
Banchero was the best man on the field for the Magic, with 38 points and 16 rebounds.
In the Conference Semifinals, the Cavaliers will find the Boston Celtics. The green-and-whites will be without Kristaps Porzingis, while Cleveland hopes to recover Jarrett Allen, out since Game 4.
