Sweeney said the Magic did a strong job of getting organized quickly and establishing their offense, particularly in the first half. Orlando maintained good pace and ball movement throughout possessions, which showed in its 35 assists and 14 turnovers. More offensive movement than seen in previous Magic offenses. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner combined for 12 assists in the first half, with Sweeney praising their ability to draw defensive attention and find the right play.
