Arron Afflalo was suspended for two games for fighting with the Timberwolves’ Nemanja Bjelica, Robbins writes.

Two jump-ball calls proved to be the difference in the Magic/Cavs game, writes John Denton of OrlandoMagic.com.

The Magic knew the Cavs would have extra motivation on Thursday, Denton writes.

Denton also writes of Afflalo’s suspension, potentially moving Jonathon Simmons back to the bench, and an update on Terrence Ross.

Elfrid Payton, despite missing a potential game-winning lay-up, earned a ‘B+’ for his aggressive and assertive performance against the Cavs in the nightly grades column by Philip Rossman-Reich of Orlando Magic Daily.

Khem Birch shined in his first real NBA opportunity, Rossman-Reich writes.

Zach Lowe of ESPN writes that David Steele and Jeff Turner are emerging as one league’s best all-around broadcast teams, praising their “Is This Anything?” segment. He also writes of Shabazz Napier, saying “You could make a decent team from guys the Magic lost for nothing over the last five years.”

For the Cavs’s this season, nothing is given and everything is earned against the Magic, writes Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com.

After nearly blowing a 23-point lead, LeBron James said the Cavs are in “strugglesville,” writes Matt Ellentuck of SB Nation.

The Cavs just barely managed to hold off the Magic, writes Chris Manning of Fear the Sword.
