NBA Playoffs: Magic vs. Cavaliers Game 7 updates, results, highlights, analysis

The Orlando Magic and Cleveland Cavaliers saved us. From what, you may ask? From a Round 1 without a single Game 7. Every other series in Round 1 ended without a winner-take-all contest, but the Magic and Cavs are the distance.

Both teams are trying to reach the second round of the playoffs for the first time in several years. The Cavs haven't been to Round 2 since 2017-2018. But the Magic haven't made it to the second round since 2009-2010 and have been eliminated in the first round four times since then.

The Magic have an even higher mountain to climb than the Cavs today. They play the Cavs in Cleveland, and the home teams have the advantage not only in general, but in this series in particular: all six games in this series were played by the home team.

Can the Magic beat the Cavs at home for the first time in the series? Can the Cavs beat a young, hungry Magic team? Follow all the action from Game 7 here.
