McGrady scored 15 points in the first quarter and had 24 at halftime. He added 11 rebounds and six assists in 43 minutes.
"I wanted to come out right away and let the guys follow my lead,'' McGrady said. "It's something I have to do without Mike and Grant in the lineup. I think I can do it every night.''
The 6-foot-8 guard did whatever he pleased from the outset against the league's second-worst defensive team. He started 6-of-7 from the floor and had 15 points in the game's first 5:05.
McGrady cooled off in the second period, but by halftime he had 24 points and the Magic were in control with a 61-48 lead at the break.
"It was kind of scary,'' Miles said. "I thought he was going to get 50.''
Rivers said McGrady's quick start was deflating for the Cavs.
"We were concerned coming in,'' Rivers said. "With the coaching change, we knew we had to jump out early and match their intensity. T-Mac came out and was on fire, which is nice.''
The Magic opened the third quarter with a 7-0 spurt and then McGrady hit a 13-foot jumper, a layup and two free throws to give Orlando a 22-point lead.
