It was far from a clean performance for Orlando, which committed 18 turnovers and showed little of the progression it made in its preseason opener against the Memphis Grizzlies. Paolo Banchero’s early preseason struggles continued as he shot 1-for-10 from the field and committed three turnovers in just 17 minutes. Meanwhile, James Harden caught fire in his preseason debut, scoring 24 points for Cleveland.Â
