Game Recap
The market opened at 225.5 and climbed just one point to 226.5 by tipoff, but Orlando and Cleveland had other plans. The combined first quarter alone produced 73 points, signaling immediately that pace and pace and offensive rhythm would dominate. By halftime, the teams had combined for 124 points—already within striking distance of the pregame number—and the second half proved even more relentless, with another 126 combined points to land the final at 250, a 24.5-point clearance of the over line. DAGGER leaned over, and it cashed.
Desmond Bane paced Orlando with 35 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, while Paolo Banchero contributed 25 points and 8 rebounds. Tristan da Silva added 23 points off the bench. Cleveland's offense was equally prolific: James Harden led the way with 30 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists, Donovan Mitchell scored 25 with 5 boards and 5 assists, and Keon Ellis knocked down 20 points. Despite the depth of scoring on both sides, Orlando held the edge 128–122.
The fourth quarter tightened markedly—just 65 combined points compared to the opening quarter's 73—but the game's early offensive surge had already sealed the over's fate. This matchup flipped the script on recent head-to-head meetings, which had totaled 212 and 224; the two teams' defensive vulnerability on the road and at home, combined with their recent scoring averages, made this the highest-scoring clash of the season between them.
