Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Orlando Magic live score, updates and analysis for Game 5
The Cavaliers' time in Orlando for Games 3 and 4 could not have gone much worse. Perhaps the only positive is they didn't sustain any major injuries. Other than that, just about nothing went right.
The Cavs were obliterated in Game 3 and then, after a positive first half in Game 4, they fell apart after returning from the locker room at halftime en route to another lopsided loss that evened the series 2-2. The series returns to Cleveland, where the Cavs led wire to wire in Games 1 and 2. The home teams in this series have dominated all four games, making it a new series entering Tuesday night.
