There's a wise saying in the playoffs that the series really starts when you win on the road. The message is that this series will only really take the initiative if you break through the opponent's home field. Everyone knows about the series of Cavaliers and Magic, and it is also quite lively. Now that the G3 of the two sides has been played, it is also worth analyzing. 3 points for the whole team, the largest point difference in the playoffs, a strong win, and frequent accidents in the East.
Where did the Magic lose in the previous game, on the one hand, it was inexperienced, after all, the team was all raw melons and eggs, and they were very nervous after the playoffs. On the other hand, I also have a bad game, and the offensive end is like constipation. Imagine winning a game in the playoffs without even scoring 90 points? The Magic need to adjust and get their characteristics back. So after the third game, everyone saw another Magic team.
As far as G3 is concerned, both sides are the original lineups, but the Magic side makes the Cavaliers quite uncomfortable. Looking at the final score, the Magic outscored the Cavaliers by 38 points. To say that this point difference is the game with the largest point difference at this stage of this year's playoffs. In fact, if there is such a point difference in the playoffs, you know how well one side played in this game and how bad the other side played. This is the playoffs, and it can be a scorching game, or it can be a huge point difference.
For the Magic, they're a strange team. As far as G3 is concerned, the whole team will open when the 3 is separated. The Magic made 13 of 37 three-pointers in this game, a 35.1 percent shooting percentage. Some people may say that this three-point shot is really not high. That's already a good hit rate for the Magic. In the first two games, the Magic made less than 30 percent three-pointers. In addition, the Magic hit 47 of 92 shots from the field, a shooting percentage of 51.1%.
The Magic guaranteed a success rate on the offensive end, which was a rare point, and it was definitely a winning game. Of course, the Magic fought harder on the rebounding ball in front of the Cavaliers' tall lineup. The Magic grabbed a total of 51 rebounds, and everyone was involved in the rebounding scramble. Of the 51 rebounds, there were 14 frontcourt rebounds and 37 backcourt rebounds. On the Cavaliers' side, they only had a total of 32 rebounds. Rebounding is a lifeline, and the Cavaliers are lifeless.
Another thing we need to know is that after the Magic returned to their home court, the main players also started to play. Banchero had 31 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, hitting 4 three-pointers, changing his previous limp form. Suggs was more efficient, hitting 9 of 11 shots and finishing with 24 points and three assists. Xiaowa was also good, with 16 points and 8 assists. 31 points + 24 points + 16 points + 16 assists, the three cores played their own form, and the game was very easy.
After the Magic won by a big score, it has to be said that there were frequent accidents in the Eastern series. When they thought the Cavaliers would easily sweep, now the Magic Jedi counterattacked, quietly completed the rise, and adapted to the series. So, this series still has to be seen, and the Magic's adjustment is also working. Of course, now that the advantage is still in the hands of the Cavaliers, they will definitely make adjustments, after all, this is a playoff game, not a regular season game.
All in all, everyone will continue to fight wits and courage in the next game. If the Magic want to win, they will have to continue their G3 form, and the Cavaliers will need to come up with a better way to end the series as soon as possible.
