On January 25, 2026, the Cleveland Cavaliers secured a 119-105 victory over the Orlando Magic. The game was a showcase of Donovan Mitchell's prowess, who scored 27 of his 36 points in the second half. Jaylon Tyson contributed 17 points, while Evan Mobley added 13 points and seven rebounds. The Cavaliers' success was also attributed to the absence of key players like Darius Garland and DeAndre Hunter, who were sidelined due to injuries. The team's momentum was evident in the third quarter, where Mitchell scored on four layups and a short bank shot. The Cavaliers extended their lead in the fourth quarter with three-pointers from Lonzo Ball, Mobley, and Tyrese Proctor. Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 27 points, but the team struggled from beyond the arc, shooting 11 for 40 (27.5%) from the three-point range. The Magic's forward, Franz Wagner, missed his second straight game due to a sore ankle. The Cavaliers' win marked their fifth in six games, and they will face the Magic again in Cleveland on Monday night.
