The Cleveland Cavaliers ( 18 - 11 ) defeated the Orlando Magic ( 11 - 21 ) 98 - 89 on Friday at the Amway Center in Orlando . Despite suffering the nine - point loss , the Magic took the upper hand in shooting percentages . The Magic shot 49 percent from the field and 43 percent from the three - point line , while the Cavaliers went 41 percent from the field and only 27 percent from the three - point line . Although they finished with the superior shooting percentage , the Magic were forced into 17 turnovers , which ultimately may have been the difference in this one . The Cavaliers were led by LeBron James , who despite going 0 - for - 5 from the three - point line , was able to convert 10 - for - 20 from the field to score 29 points , while also contributing eight assists . In his last two outings , he 's combined for 59 points and 16 assists , as he 's been the Cavaliers ' offensive focal point . Kevin Love also played a big part in this victory . He finished with 22 points ( 7 - 17 FG , 3 - 8 3Pt , 5 - 5 FT ) and seven rebounds . He 's now averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds on the year and was needed for scoring with Kyrie Irving sitting out . The only other player to reach double figures in points was Dion Waiters . Coming off the bench , he was able to score 17 points ( 6 - 14 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 5 - 5 FT ) . It was a nice bounce back game for him offensively , after scoring only eight points in 28 minutes on Thursday against the Miami Heat . The Magic on the other hand were led by the duo of Tobias Harris and Evan Fournier . Harris went 7 - for - 16 from the floor and 2 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score 16 points , while Fournier went 5 - for - 10 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from beyond the arc to score 15 points off the bench . It was a nice turn around game for Fournier , who shot only 22 percent ( 2 - 9 FG ) against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday . Victor Oladipo also had a solid contribution . He finished with 13 points ( 5 - 14 FG , 0 - 1 3Pt , 3 - 4 FT ) , four rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes . Like Fournier , Oladipo really struggled against the Celtics on Tuesday , shooting 13 percent ( 2 - 15 FG ) from the floor , so it was again good to see a bounce back game from him . Ben Gordon had 10 points off the bench as well . The Cavaliers ' next game will be at home against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday , while the Magic will travel to Charlotte to play the HOrnets on Saturday .
