The Magic jumped off to a 26-20 first quarter lead, and then extended it to 54-38 at the half, and that proved to be far too much for the Cavs on Monday night.

The Cavs did win the second half 41-36, but fell 90-79 at home.

Our guy LeBron played 43 minutes, scoring only 18 points, on a disappointing 6-13 from the free throw line.

This loss drops the Cavs to 24-17 and a tie for first place in the Central with the Pistons. The Magic improved to 23-19.

The Cavs will now face the Sixers in their next two games. Wednesday night at home, and then in Phily on Friday.
