CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell scored 35 points, Darius Garland added 26 and the Cavaliers began a challenging stretch with a 121-111 win over the Orlando Magic, who got a career-high 42 points from Paolo Banchero.
It was one of the better performances lately by the Cavs, who have been inconsistent so far in 2023 and came in just 4-8 against teams with winning records.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft, Banchero went 16 of 26 from the field for Orlando, which lost for just the second time in 11 games.
The Magic went just 2 of 23 on 3-pointers, barely extending their streak of making at least one trey to 1,314 games, dating to 2007.
