The FT comment is funny. When you jack up 16 more threes than your opponent, you obviously aren’t going to get more calls.

Still kinda crazy to me P5 had 34 with no 3pt attempts on top of the double teams....

For all the talk about Jett not playing, Jarace Walker (8th pick) is racking up DNP-CDs. And as an aside, Hawkins is racking up DNP-CDs as well. AB playing major minutes on a top 4 eastern conference team is fairly praise worthy as is.

To be fair AB might have been getting DNPs if Fultz wasn’t injured. He is not exactly racking up mins.

3’s
ORL: 6-18
IND: 15-34

FT’s
ORL: 33-41
IND: 9-13

We dominated the inside, they dominated the outside. FT’s are our 3pt play.

Reminds me of what the Lakers did last year. Not the best at 3s but compensated by getting to the line.

Haliburton said in the post game interview that Paolo and Franz were the future of the NBA.

Anybody else get the warm fuzzies watching Mose chopping it up with Hali post-game? They seemed really tight - apparently, from the national team experience.

Maybe the future of the NBA is Paolo, Franz & HALIBURTON

Playing together with the Magic of course.

Few hours ago, it's 4 AM, i'm piss drunk at Bachelor party, guy asks me wtf i'm watching on phone " nba, Magic, we won"

Dude.... what kind if bachelor party is that that it made you watch a Magic game?

I don’t want to hear anyone say Pepe is not a real Magic fan. Dude willingly ignored bouncing jubblies for a bouncing ball.

Who said there weren't bouncing balls in the party?

LOL Joke

Box score thoughts:

Orlando won the FG% battle and won the game. But in the same way the Magic could have won the game if the Bucks hadn't crushed the Magic in FT attempts, the same holds true here for the Pacers.

The Magic had 24 made FTs more than the Pacers.
And the Magic made their volumes in high percentages as well with a glowing 80.5% make rate on 41 attempts.

Orlando won the rebounding contest by 6, including 3 more offensive rebounds.
Orlando had less TOs by 2.

Really the only thing that made the game close was stellar 3pt shooting by the Pacers.

...

In the end, all road wins are good wins - this was a GREAT win.
