The first-round series between the Cavaliers and Magic seemed to be heading in one direction just a week ago, but it has taken an unexpected turn.
Cleveland and Orlando are set to clash in a pivotal Game 5 on Tuesday night. The Magic are looking to win their third game in a row, while the Cavaliers are hoping that they can bounce back and remain undefeated on their home floor.
The Magic delivered a stellar second-half performance in Game 4, steamrolling the Cavs over the final two quarters on the way to a 112-89 victory. Franz Wagner led the charge with 34 points, 13 rebounds and four assists in 40 minutes. The Magic dominated the battle from beyond the arc, drilling 12 of their 26 3-point attempts (46.2 percent).
The series will now shift back to Cleveland, where Orlando has struggled to produce points. Can the Magic find success on the road? Or will the Cavs take a 3-2 lead?
