Was Niang starting something with Jett in that sequence?

I'm actually not sure, but just about everyone got pissed at Niang.
Hopefully someone else was more observant and can fill us in.

This was a giant glimpse into the future. I still don’t think we’ll win this series but this was a window of how this team will be in a couple years. Contending for titles.


Completely agree, I am not expecting much this series because the magic just don’t have the pieces. Just love seeing little glimpses of what this team can be.

Fantastic night from the Magic, and now that the Magic broke that glass ceiling I think this series will be very competitive. Paolo/Franz/Suggs were phenomenal. Let’s hope for a repeat on Saturday!!

I really wish he was in these games. For nothing else but for playoff experience.

Cavs still haven't posted 100+ in this series. Defense has not been an issue for us.

Cleveland did the same thing defensively they did for the last 2 games. The difference is the shots actually fell tonight. Good game for the team.

Our rotations on defense were on point tonight. We made their 3pt looks difficult and rushed. And we rebounded. That was the key.

This trade wasn't some conspiracy - it was just a GM wanting AD bad enough where in most people's eyes he overpaid by a long shot to get him.

Not sure if we'll shoot decently again but I think they learned that you can be more physical on offense.

It was more than that. We started off slow. The difference was they didn’t get discouraged and were aggressive moving the ball and making decisive moves and decisions, very little settling unlike games 1 and 2. Also aggressive on the boards.
