Our first Game 7 of the 2024 NBA Playoffs arrived on Sunday afternoon in Cleveland, and despite falling into a huge first half deficit, the Cavaliers managed to take down the Magic, 106-94, and advance to the conference semis against the Celtics.

Early on it did not look like the trend of the home team winning each game would continue in Game 7, as the Magic ran away to a huge early advantage with the Cavs looking shell-shocked. Paolo Banchero carried the load in the first half for Orlando, scoring 24 points in a thoroughly dominant showing, as he put the Magic on his back.
