Strong start major key for Magic to protect homecourt vs. Cavs

The last time the Magic hosted a playoff game in front of Orlando fans, four-year pro Cole Anthony was a senior in high school. Although Orlando reached the postseason in 2020, they played inside the NBA bubble at Disney. The year prior, the Magic hosted the Raptors in the first round but lost both home contests at Kia Center (then known as Amway). “The city's hungry,” Anthony said after practice Wednesday ahead of Thursday's Game 3 against Cleveland.
