They didn’t end up scoring again for the rest of the game. Absolutely. They really came through when the pressure was on. As an aside, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that Banchero three in the last minute that brought the lead to eight. It must have bounced 20 feet in the air after going off the back of the rim before swishing through the net. Quote

Wendall played like a beast, Paolo and Wagner had some moment great moments. Bane was great but clearly tired in the second half. The win was really all about Paolo and Franz in the 4th. Bench Suggs in the next game to send him a message. Guy usually has one quarter where he looks like an All-Star and then a complete tool the rest of the game. They definitely need to take the ball out of his hands. He has some really costly turnovers. Unnecessary one. We definitely need a reliable PG/ball handler off the bench. That should be one our top needs this offseason. Good win, though. We just have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. We also need a bounce back game from Black. He was a -12 and it showed. Quote

I’m hoping the momentum from this game carries over to Monday’s game. We win again at home and I see us upsetting the Pistons and moving on to the 2nd round. Quote
Soul Bro Posted April 25 Report Posted April 25 Really huge and impressive win by the boys! Go Magic! Quote

It hasn't even been pinned by the mods. Thanks for the thread, TMF! All should be fixed now. Go Magic! Quote
orlandoholic Posted April 25 Report Posted April 25 resilient game but our problems remain! Nice W and we overcome some questionable officiating! Detroits strategy this season is to overwhelm with fouling, they push hold and grab every possession. The refs did their best to protect Detroit. Quote

Ended up walking back to ThreatLocker garage with Dante Go Magic!!!! Quote
Soul Bro Posted April 25 Report Posted April 25 The interesting thing is we played our best when Franz was running the offense and Cain was guarding Cade in the early 4th. Shoutout to both those guys, especially Franz with his +19. Also Bane with his threes, WCJ with his boards, and Paolo with his overall don't-quit attitude made all the difference. Really proud to be a Magic fan right now. Quote

Jamesdin Posted April 25 Report Posted April 25 Bane is hobbling. Hope nothing serious. wendell is preventing duren from getting that all nba 3rd team this is the importance of homecourt. We would of lose this game playing outside our home. Quote
Shine88 Posted April 25 Report Posted April 25 Paolo “Why is our spacing so bad” Franz “I need the ball in better spots” Wendell “I can’t keep grabbing offensive rebounds” Bane “I just hit my 6th three in a row” Jalen Suggs sideplot: https://x.com/EVRYDAYCarter/status/2048153305251987757 Lol Quote
