A quick Orlando–Cleveland rematch is a good test of what the first box score actually told us. Cleveland won that game despite more turnovers and fewer steals, because it also owned the rebounding and free throw edges. If Orlando disrupts the ball again, the next possession still has to end with a shot or a defensive rebound. With preseason lineups unsettled, I’d watch that exchange before drawing anything from the first result.
