The Cleveland Cavaliers rode a dominant third quarter to erase a seven-point halftime deficit and defeat the Atlanta Hawks 122–116 at home.

Atlanta looked in control early, scoring 67 points in the first half behind efficient ball movement and transition scoring. But the game turned sharply after halftime, with Cleveland outscoring the Hawks by 24 points in the third — the decisive stretch of the night.

Donovan Mitchell led the charge with 31 points on 12-from-19 shooting, while Evan Mobley delivered a two-way masterclass with 22 points, 19 rebounds, and three blocks. Jarrett Allen added 16 points and eight rebounds as Cleveland controlled the paint late.

Kia Center – Orlando, FL
Halftime: Magic 63–53 Timberwolves

Game Snapshot

• Quarter Scores: 34–32, 29–21, 38–30, 31–37
• Largest Lead: Magic +18
• Game Flow: Orlando created separation with a 38-point third quarter after leading by 10 at halftime

Australian Joe Ingles made just his second start in four seasons as Orlando used a high-efficiency offensive performance and a decisive third quarter to defeat his Minnesota 132–120 at home.

The Magic led by 10 at halftime before extending the margin in the third, scoring 38 points while consistently getting into the paint and generating second-chance opportunities. That stretch pushed the lead out beyond 15 and forced Minnesota into catch-up mode for the remainder of the game.

Paolo Banchero set the tone with 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists, while Franz Wagner added 17 points. Desmond Bane contributed 18 points and six assists, and Orlando’s depth played a key role — with multiple bench contributors maintaining the scoring pressure.

Minnesota stayed within range through perimeter shooting — hitting 18-from-44 from three — and a 33-point outing from the bench, but defensive lapses and Orlando’s rebounding edge proved costly.

Minnesota (47–33) drops a road game despite efficient shooting, while Orlando (44–36) strengthens its playoff positioning with a balanced offensive performance and control of the glass.
