2 studs 2 duds from Cavaliers’ record-setting demolition of the Magic..
Cleveland casted that seemed to stop them from missing from the 3-point line.
The Cavs hit 19 of their 32 3-point attempts, which put them at the 50-percent-or-above mark for the second time in three games. Guard Ty Jerome, who has broken out into a Sixth Man of the Year candidate for the surging Cavaliers, continued to impress as he hit four of his six tries from beyond the arc. Strus was able to set the tone for Cleveland’s offense as he hit its first two 3-point shots off catch-and-shoot attempts. Cleveland’s bench hit twice as many 3-point shots as the Magic’s entire squad combined, which only added to their case of being one of the league’s best shooting squads as they move along one of the best 3-point shooting seasons in the team’s history.
Dud: Sam Merrill
Despite usually being a reliable shooter for the Cavs, Merrill couldn’t seem to find the mark on Tuesday as he hoisted up shots from the left side of the halfcourt.

Merrill hit one of his four 3-point tries on Tuesday. His only make was off a quick shot against Banchero from the left corner. Merrill’s cold spell from the perimeter has continued into its fourth-straight game after logging an incredible week from beyond the arc at the beginning of Cleveland’s February schedule. The 3rd-year Cavalier will have plenty of time to turn things around as the Cavs continue into their March schedule, which includes a few Eastern Conference rivals and a team on the rise in the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Cavs will move on to face the Boston Celtics at 7:30 p.m. EST on Friday in TD Garden. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
