THE Cleveland Cavaliers survive a furious comeback against the last team they won a game to, the Orlando Magic and defeated them to avoid a five game losing streak 104-103.
The Cavaliers have already lost 4 straight games and played early on in the game with a sense of urgency.
Cavaliers were moving the ball and making their fastbreak points allowing them to lead by 16 by the end of the first quarter.
Everything seemed to be going well for the Cavaliers as they lead by 23 going into the half making 19 assists out of 25 made shots.
Things began to fall apart for the Cavaliers as the Orlando Magic steadily came back into the game and tied it mid-way through the third quarter.
The fourth quarter was a back-and-forth game as both teams looked to win badly. The Magic finally had the lead when Shelvin Mack's shot went in with 30 seconds left.
But he was also at fault as he fouled a driving Isaiah Thomas who made 2 crucial free throws to take back the lead and eventually win the game.
Thomas led his team with 21 poins along with LeBron James who made 16.
The Magic had Elfrid Payton scoring 19 and Evan Fournier with 17 points. (Frankl Glarino, USC AB Communications Intern/Suntar Philippines)
