Magic Starting 5: Orlando Cruises to Win vs. Nets
In this story:
1. MAGIC GRABS ANOTHER WIN VS. NETS
"Orlando picked it up in the second quarter, outscoring Brooklyn 36-26 to take a nine-point lead into the locker rooms. That lead doubled by the end of the third quarter thanks to effective play on both ends of the court. The Magic's lead grew to be as large as 20 points in the cruising victory."
2. MAGIC LEAGUE PASS PLAYER RANKINGS
"Orlando Magic stars Paolo Banchero and Bol Bol have given new definition to what players at their size can do, flaunting versatile play on both ends of the floor. They've shined in Orlando in a season that has seen encouraging growth from their young nucleus, and have caught the attention of the NBA media."
3. FULTZ AMONG BEST STORIES IN SPORTS
"With no one watching, Fultz fought for his career," ESPN writes. "He is averaging 14 points and 6 assists on 51% shooting, and plays solid multipositional defense when he's dialed in -- including offering bouncy rim protection for his size. He is, improbably, a legitimate starting point guard, and still ascending."
4. MAGIC SIGNS JAY SCRUBB
"Scrubb, 22, has been tearing it up in the G League this season, averaging 22.3 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season with Lakeland."
5. NEXT MAGIC GAME
The Magic will head back out on the road tomorrow night against Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies at 8:00 p.m. You can watch in-market on Bally Sports Florida or out-of-market on NBA League Pass.
