The 2024 NBA postseason begins Friday night with two pivotal Game 6 plays. The Magic started off against the Cavaliers tonight, with Orlando forcing a winner-take-all Game 7 by a score of 103-96.
The home team has won every game in this series, and that trend continues so far.
In tournament night, the Clippers will try to avoid elimination and even a first-round series in the Western Conference when they visit Dallas in Game 6. And Los Angeles will be up against the wall after a truly dismal effort in losing the game 123-93. 5 on Wednesday. Kawhi Leonard (knee) will miss a third straight game as Los Angeles struggles to stay alive.
Luka Doncic, the Mavericks' top scorer, scored 14 of his 26 points, scored 35 points, and had 10 assists and seven rebounds last time out. Doncic is averaging 30.2 points in the series but is shooting just 26.3 percent (15 of 57) from 3-point range. Dallas is trying to advance to the postseason for only the second time in its past eight trips.
Qualifying matches on Friday:
- Game 6: Magic 103, Cavaliers 96 – Series tied 3-3
- Game 6: Mavericks vs. Clippers, 9:30 p.m., on ESPN/Fubo – Dallas leads 3-2
