The Magic pretty much maintained their lead most of the way and get a good road win to start this trip.

Very happy with this team's play with Paolo. The good teams play well without their Star.

Good win. The second chance points sucked. The 2 la games would be icing on top since they pulled this one out. I was cool with a 1-2, road trip. If they can steal that clipper game it would be huge.

Got to give props when they're due. AB was solid, trending in the right direction as a core member.

The whole crew are shades of bad tbh. Brian Hill should have a bigger role. Hes the only one with any insight whatsoever.

Dante easily was not good last year but seems to have improved on his play by play this year. Hard to sub for David Steele.

To put it in perspective this season, Franz has improved to be our focal point without Paolo. His scoring and 3s are all improving. Can you imagine AB's game tonight? I hope he was more assertive and determined to attack with the ball. And he got 8 assists tonight also.

The only thing that needs to be better is Jalen Suggs' shooting. He was supposed to step up after Paolo got hurt and he did couple games. It is his chance to shine but he is just in a gloom right now.

Just imagine how good we can be when Paolo comes back before Christmas. This team is better and will surprise a ton of people.

Loved the win, my only criticism would be to have given Jett Cole's few minutes. No one got hurt, we won on the road and kept them under 100... Nice!

Yea there was no need for Cole to play those 4 min. If anything like someone said he could have thrown jett out there for those 4 min for a spark.

As a sideline reporter/studio host I think Dante is fine.

He's not good at PxP at all unfortunately.

Franz almost snuck out of this one without a TO.

He’s gotta be at like a 7:1 ast:to during this streak right?

Really good road win. Seemed like everytime we were about to blow them away by 20+ we would do some sloppy plays to give them some hope but they kept their head and held the margin each time a run was made. A sign of developing maturity. Franz is an allstar this year. Truly deserves it.
