Then, in Game Four, the Magic outscored the Cavaliers 61-29 in the second half to even the series.

There is strong belief in the building from the players and coaches that they can take care of business tonight at home.

“If you look at it as overwhelming, you’re not ready for it. I don’t think anyone here is overwhelmed by it. This what we’ve all worked for, this is what we wanted,” said Paolo Banchero.
