Evan Mobley scored 16 points for the Cavaliers, which got bullied and bounced in just 5 matches by the NY Knicks in the 2023 playoffs.
That experience made Cleveland better as they entered this postseason with confidence.
Donovan has been suffering for 2 months with a left knee bone bruise, but the All-Star guard is at his best in the most crucial time of the season as he led the Cavs offence in Game 1.
Paolo Banchero notched 24 points in his postseason debut but also finished with 9 turnovers for Magic. The next match from the series is on Monday, again at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
