It’s hard to really predict how a team will finish this season, based on just the preseason. However, for the Cavaliers’ sake let’s hope their 1-3 preseason record isn’t a sign of how things will go in the regular season. The Cavs traveled to Orlando last night to take on the Magic in what was Cleveland’s preseason finale.

When the final buzzer sounded, the Magic had pulled out a 114-108 victory. With that being said, Cleveland chose to rest the majority of their starters to let them recuperate before they take on the Raptors this Wednesday in the season opener.

The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Orlando Magic on Friday night. Who are one stud and one dud for the Cavs in their preseason finale?

With Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Jarrett Allen, and a couple of other key players planted on the bench, there wasn’t much to take away from this game. Evan Mobley finally got back on the court after being out with a minor ankle injury, and Isaac Okoro continued to state his case as the starting small forward.

The Cavaliers still looked a bit rusty in some areas, coughing up 16 turnovers, and being easily out-rebounded. However, the Cavaliers also did a lot of good things last night. Without further ado, let’s take a look at the stud and dud from last night’s loss to the Magic.
