The upcoming Game 7 matchup between the Cavaliers and Magic is a winner-take-all showdown, with the victor advancing to face the Celtics in Round 2. The Cavs and Magic are the only teams to push their Round 1 series to seven games, sparing us from a series without a single Game 7.
Both teams are determined to make it to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in a few years. The Cavs last made it to Round 2 in 2017-2018, while the Magic have not advanced past the first round since 2009-2010, with four early exits since then.
The Magic face a tough challenge in this crucial game as they try to win in Cleveland, where home teams have won all six games so far. However, if they can pull off a road win for the first time in the series, they will emerge victorious against an experienced and battle-tested Cleveland team.
The Cavaliers are dealing with an additional challenge due to Jarrett Allen’s rib injury, but head coach J.B. Bickerstaff is approaching the game with a serious and focused mindset. He understands that Game 7 is one of the most intense matchups in NBA playoffs history and that both teams will need to be at their best if they want to come out on top. Stay tuned for live updates and highlights from Game 7 between the Cavaliers and Magic as they vie for a spot in Round 2.
