We referred to as the Cavs “comfortable” all 12 months due to what occurred final 12 months in opposition to the Knicks within the playoffs.
For them to be all the way down to the Magic by as a lot as 18 factors within the first half, then come again within the second half to win a Recreation 7 is a MASSIVE step in the best path.
