Despite holding a three-point lead with just over four seconds remaining in regulation, the Orlando Magic fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in front of 5,219 at the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati Monday night.

Forward Justin Harper scored the first bucket of overtime, but the Cavs then ripped off seven straight points. Another jumper by Harper cut the lead to three. After a Jeremy Pargo turnover, the Magic had the ball back with a chance to tie, but Chris Johnson's jumper wouldn't fall.

Glen Davis led all scorers with 27 points on 9-of-17 shooting. Davis continued his preseason trend of getting to the free throw line, going 9-of-13 from the stripe. Davis also pulled down eight rebounds. Rookie Andrew Nichsolson added 14 points and nine rebounds. J.J. Redick (18), E'Twaun Moore (15) and Nikola Vucevic (10) were also in double figures.

Kyrie Irving led the Cavs with 22 points while C.J. Miles poured in 17. Rookie Tyler Zeller had 10 points and five rebounds.

The Magic will take on the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills Tuesday night.

Magic, Cavaliers Headed To Overtime

The Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers are headed to overtime tied at 107.

The Magic used a 19-4 run to take a one-point lead at 72-71, but the Cavs quickly responded, ripping off an 8-2 run to regain control of the game.

The Magic trailed by as many as six in the fourth quarter.

Trailing by two with 1:55 to go, Glen Davis hit two free throws to tie the game. After a stop, Davis was fouled again, but made just one free throw. The two teams traded possessions before Davis hit another basket, pushing the Magic lead to three and giving him 27 points on the night. Then, rookie forward Andrew Nicholson made a big mistake. Nicholson fouled Jeremy Pargo while shooting a two-point jumper. Pargo calmly hit the free throw.

Davis missed an 18-footer at the buzzer for the win.

Kyrie Irving scored 22 points to lead the Cavs.

Cavs Lead Magic 53-46 At The Half

The Orlando Magic trail the Cleveland Cavaliers 53-46 at the half.

Orlando, led by Nikola Vucevic's 10 points, shot just 42.6% from the field (20-of-47) in the first half while Cleveland shot 48.7% from the field (19-of-39). The Cavaliers, led by Kyrie Irving's 18 points, were the aggressors, getting to the free throw line 19 times. Orlando had just five trips to the stripe. The Magic committed 15 fouls compared to just seven for the Cavaliers.

E'Twaun Moore and Glen Davis each scored seven first half points for the Magic. DaQuan Jones, an undrafted rookie from Miami, who was inserted into the starting lineup, had two points, four rebounds and two assists.

Rookie Tyler Zeller scored nine points and grabbed four rebounds in just 11 minutes off off the bench for the Cavaliers. The North Carolina product was a perfect four-of-four from the field.

DeQuan Jones Will Start At The Two

Undrafted rookie DeQuan Jones will start at shooting guard Tuesday night in order to give veteran J.J. Redick a rest,according to Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel.

The move makes sense in another way because Redick will likely come off of the bench during the regular season while Arron Afflalo, who was acquired in the Dwight Howard trade, will likely start.

Afflalo continues to sit out with a hamstring injury.
