B2B Magic Wins

Crazy as it might seem but the Orlando Magic just won back-to-back games for the first time since December 23. It’s been rough. I’ll tell you what though, it wasn’t easy. They were down 19 early in the 2nd quarter and it looked like Atlanta was gonna steamroll. The problem is, they couldn’t make a shot… especially the easy ones. The Hawks were 17-of-39 at the rim (43.6%) and 19-of-28 (67.9%) at the free throw line (48.1% TS). You know how hard it is to go 17-of-39 at the rim?! It’s a miracle they only lost by six. The Hawks are 1-9 this season with 50.0% TS or worse. Forgive me, just realized how stupidly obvious that stat is. Mo Gueye (2 points, 2 rebounds) started at the 4 and played 15 minutes. Clint Capela (3 points, 18 minutes) also wasn’t a fake active this time around.

Wendell Carter Jr. (9 points, 15 rebounds) returned to the Magic starting lineup and played 32 minutes. He’s averaging 30.5 minutes in his last five starts. Paolo Banchero scored 20 of his 36 in the first half. It’s Paolo’s seventh time scoring 30+ this season. God, I still can’t get over how Orlando shot 24.0% (6-25) from three and 68.4% (26-38) from the free-throw line and still won. There was a lot of bad officiating in this one too. The Hawks were issued three techs, including one by Trae Young, who had a few things to say about the refs after the game…

"You just wish that you could get some refs that just don't take things personally and understand that people grow. I'm not 19 anymore. I can communicate with these people and I have with a lot of these refs, and I feel like the refs are responsive for the most part, but then you get a few, a handful like we got tonight." - Trae Young on the officials

The Magic beat the Hawks 114-108.
