Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers head-to-head record
Cleveland has won three of the last five meetings between the Magic and the Cavaliers, while Orlando has won two. The Cavaliers' most recent triumph, 120-109, on the second of November 2024, demonstrated their offensive prowess.
However, the groups faced up in the 2024 series, with Cleveland responding with close wins, including a thrilling 104-103 victory on May 1, and Orlando dominating with a decisive 112-89 victory on April 27.
In that series, Orlando prevailed 103-96 before Cleveland ended it on May 5 with a 106-94 victory. In light of these outcomes, Cleveland has often had the advantage, but Orlando has proven that it is capable of competing, particularly at home.
Cleveland could set the pace if their offensive firepower keeps up, but Orlando has an opportunity to tie the season series if they can duplicate their excellent defensive performance from their last landslide victory.
