Magic – Cavaliers 105-119
Noah Penda Scores 8 Points in Orlando’s Preseason Loss to Cleveland
Noah Penda logged 22 minutes for the Orlando Magic in a preseason exhibition that ended in a 105-119 defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He recorded eight points on a 3-of-8 shooting line, including two of four from three-point range. Penda also contributed five rebounds, all on the defensive end, five assists, one steal and one block while committing one turnover and two personal fouls.
His plus-minus was even at zero, indicating the Magic’s scoring margin did not change while he was on the floor. The stat line reflects a balanced effort across scoring, playmaking and defensive contributions, yet the team’s overall performance fell short of the opponent’s total.
Because this was a preseason contest, the result does not affect the Magic’s official win-loss record or league standings. Nonetheless, Penda’s numbers provide a snapshot of his activity in the early stages of the upcoming campaign.
