Cleveland Cavaliers vs Orlando Magic Match Player Stats On Jan 22, 2024

Jarrett Allen set a franchise record with his 12th consecutive double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 rebounds as the Cleveland Cavaliers rolled to a 126-99 road blowout of the Orlando Magic on Monday.

Allen surpassing Elmore Smith and Andre Drummond -- with whom Allen was tied for the Cavaliers' double-double mark coming into the night -- provided the only drama of the second half in a wire-to-wire, lopsided affair.

Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell posted 25 points and a career-high-matching 13 assists.

Max Strus scored the game's first five points to set Cleveland on its way to a rout of an Orlando team playing the second night of a back-to-back set.

Cleveland buried Orlando in a barrage of 3-pointers, shooting 20-for-38 (52.6 percent) from beyond the arc to the Magic's 11-for-29 (37.9 percent). The 20 made attempts were the most Orlando surrendered this season.

Sam Merrill went 8-for-13 on 3-point attempts en route to 26 points, one shy of his career high. He paced five Cavaliers with at least two made 3-pointers, which included Mitchell at 3-for-8, Strus at 2-for-4 en route to 10 points, and Dean Wade, who scored all nine of his points on 3-of-3 shooting beyond the arc.

Georges Niang knocked down 2 of 7 from outside and finished with 11 points off the Cleveland bench, while Craig Porter Jr. added 12 points in reserve duty.
