Paolo is 3-7 from deep and 2-13 from 2. He's fishing for fouls instead of going up strong when he's in the paint.

As I mentioned before the game, Cavs' length is a kryptonite for Paolo and Franz.

Yeah, should have took to Garland with such a mismatch.

im guessing the amount of 24 sec violations got to his head, knowing that a double would come once he tried to expose him

Paolo also has to be more decisive to seize every moment of those 6 seconds

The volume is not very much I would guess, because this is first good game in awhile.

KCP with a rare clutch 3

I don't recall Mose using the KCP/Gary backcourt ever

Very interesting wrinkle

Franz has played really good defense on Garland the past few possessions.

Wow nice win. They missed a ton of 3s, but we needed that. They played really hard and credit Franz for sticking with it and salvaging his game.

This has been the best defensive game the Magic have played in WEEKS.

Where in the world has this effort been since Christmas??

bit strange being on other side of shooting 25% for 3 for once :lol:

Yeah, it’s flipping annoying. Play to score rather than the foul.

I bet Cavs hit a 3 shaving off 2 seconds off the clock. Please don’t foul the 3 point shooter.
