The Cleveland Cavaliers’ Danny Green went off on the Orlando Magic

J.B. Bickerstaff got his 50-win season, and with the playoff standings set, he opted to rest just about all of his starters and key reserves in the second of two straight games against the Orlando Magic. Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Isaac Okoro, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen all got the day off on Thursday, as Dean Wade, Ricky Rubio, Cedi Osman, Lamar Stevens, and Robin Lopez got the start for the good guys.

Caris LeVert, who was the only non-starter to not play either, was ruled out due to knee soreness. This allowed other reserves, like Isiah Mobley and Danny Green the opportunity to step up, and step up they did, as Mobley, Green, and Osman led the way for the Cavs against an Orlando Magic team that was also without several key players.

The lack of Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero allowed the Cavs an opportunity to catch the Magic off-kilter and were able to down them to the tune of 118-94, in a game that looked like it was going to be a blow for Orlando. The Magic went 42-33 in the first quarter, looking like a blowout was on the way, but the Cavs outscored the Magic 85-52 over the rest of the game, with the game largely being over by the start of the fourth quarter.

The Cavs have one more regular season home-game against the Charlotte Hornets and then they’ll play the New York Knicks to kick off the 2023 NBA Playoffs.
