Orlando Magic DOMINATE Wizards but Playoff Concerns Linger | What’s Next?
The Orlando Magic took care of their business against the Washington Wizards behind a monster 33-point, 18-rebound showing from Paolo Banchero and a 27-point effort from Franz Wagner. The Wizards are not their competition, though. And the Magic know their intensity and attention to detail against the Wizards will not be good enough as they prepare for the Playoffs.
The win was big as the Magic control their own destiny for the 7-seed and Southeast Division lead. The game on Tuesday against the Atlanta Hawks will be critical to punching their ticket and clinching their spot to a home game in the 7/8 game.

Do you see Paolo being able to average 10 rebounds per game in the next couple of seasons? He occasionally has these games with 15+ rebounds.
We should be ecstatic if Paolo can be a 30/5/5 player on a consistent basis and than give is an all first team NBA player game like the 50 he dropped on the Pacer’s
I really never saw Paolo being this level of scorer. Guy might legit lead the league in the next few years
If Washington gets Flagg with Carrington and Sarr. Wizard fans should be super excited.
I agree with everything, but also, add this was also a back to back game as well. We always struggle on a back to back.
I agree with Paolo working on moving and being quicker with a slightly better handle and he goes from a top 15 to a top 5 player in the league…I also like the lineup where Paolo and franz are our bigs with AB and the shooters the offense and spacing looks really good I’m hoping we can get that 5-8 mins a game
So when Vouch was a 20 and 10 machine the writers said those were empty stats. What’s the difference with Palo and Franz? Great game and stats but we still suck? Washington didn’t even want to win. They’re on a noble quest for the bottom. Something else is why are Harris and Issac getting any minutes at all? There moving on after the season right? Huston played 10 minutes, hard to get in the flow. Which killed Triston by the way.
I've said it before that it's your job to hold Mosley accountable. I'm glad Lowe called you and the entire softcore media here out on it.
It's probably going to come down to that very last game at ATLANTA! for the 7 seed!
