"Cavaliers' Dominant Defense Sets Tone, Grabs 2-0 Series Lead Against Magic"

The Cleveland Cavaliers have established their dominance early in their first-round series against the Orlando Magic with suffocating defense. Led by big men Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, the Cavs have held the Magic to historically low shooting percentages and limited their key scorers' offensive impact. Allen, in particular, has been on a mission to prove his postseason mettle after struggling last year, showcasing his rebounding prowess and defensive tenacity to stifle Orlando's offense.

Coach JB Bickerstaff's emphasis on contested shots and defensive intensity has paid dividends for Cleveland, as they aim to keep the series low-scoring and grind out wins with their stifling defense. Boasting a strong frontcourt anchored by Allen and Mobley, the Cavs have disrupted the Magic's offensive flow and controlled the paint effectively. As the series heads to Orlando for Game 3, the Cavs are poised to continue their defensive prowess and maintain their edge over the Magic, setting the stage for an intriguing battle between offense and defense in the playoffs.
