The playoff experience will be good for Orlando. Some of these guys got to work on their offense

I don't recall that one so I'll take your word for it. Every game has missed calls or calls made most everyone disagrees with, but I've come to expect this boarder pattern.
Anyway, good for Cavs for roaring back. That's on them not all on the refs.

I love Mitchell and LeVert going up to Garland after he made the corner 3, they know he's struggling, trying to give him some encouragement.

Why isn't Isaac playing? 
Magic seemed better with him on the floor generating stops so the team could run ahead and not get stuck in a half-court mess.
Isaac was defending CLE's perimeter players without issue and still helping protect the rim.
