Cavaliers Force Game 6 on Magic with Crucial Block by Mobley

Cavaliers Hold Slim Lead in Intense NBA Series

Block by Mobley Sends Series Back to Orlando

The Cleveland Cavaliers secured a narrow 3-2 series lead against the Orlando Magic after a thrilling Game 5 victory on Wednesday night. Led by a clutch defensive play by Evan Mobley, the Cavaliers fought off a determined Magic team to force a Game 6 in Orlando on Friday.

With the game tied at 95-all and just over a minute remaining, Magic forward Franz Wagner drove to the basket for a potential game-winning layup. However, Mobley, the Cavaliers' young frontcourt star, came from nowhere to emphatically block Wagner's shot, sending the ball flying out of bounds.

The block ignited the Cavaliers and silenced the Magic crowd. The Cavaliers went on to win the game 97-95, putting themselves one game away from advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Mobley's block was just one of several key plays for the Cavaliers in the tightly contested game. Darius Garland led the scoring with 25 points, while Jarrett Allen added 20 points and 11 rebounds.

The Magic, despite the loss, still have a chance to force a Game 7 back in Cleveland. However, they will need to play with the same intensity and determination they showed in Game 5 and find a way to slow down the Cavaliers' young stars.

Game 6 is set for Friday night in Orlando, and it promises to be another thrilling chapter in this exciting NBA series.
