Cleveland Cavaliers 107-96 victory over Orlando Magic

Orlando was outscored by one as Mitchell scored 16 points in the first nine minutes, and the Cavaliers never lost the initiative. Cleveland eventually had a 20-point advantage and won all 11 of their home games this season. The Cavaliers were led by Darius Garland's 18 points and six assists, and by Kevin Love's 11 points and 10 rebounds off the bench. The Orlando Magic, who had lost seven in a row and the lowest record in the NBA (5-18), were led by rookie big Paolo Banchero, who scored 22 points, Cole Anthony, who had 19, and Markelle Fultz, who contributed 10 points and six assists.

Following a month-long absence due to a ruptured right oblique, Anthony played in his second game back. Following a season-opening absence of 21 games due to a broken left toe, Fultz made his debut against Atlanta on Wednesday.
