I thought this was terrible for the Magic.
They cannot play a game like this.
They can't win a game with the scores being this high.
68 combined points for Mitchell and Harden.
It's the most since they've been playing together.
Cleveland had eight turnovers in this game.
They had 62 points in the paint.
Felt...
The Magic, 0%.
The Magic were not bringing a physicality to this game or a defensive mindset to this game.
They're 1-5 when an opponent scores 130 or more this year.
Their only win came in overtime, so regulation-wise, hasn't happened.
They're 10-17 in 27 games when the opponent scores 120 or more.
They have to play defense because they just don't have the offensive talent to keep up with a team like the Cavs, who are like, yeah, we'll score every time we get a chance.
And that's really kind of what they did.
I don't think anyone was happy with this result last night because Kenny Atkinson went into the postgame press conference with one message, and it was basically, I just told the team, we can't play like this come playoff time.
It was fun.
We scored a bunch of points, but we can't play defense like this.
We'll get cooked.
It's different in the postseason.
