They had a run in the 1st where Paolo kept feeding Dell inside. Think it was a 6pt run.

But Paolo has been playing pickup since he came back in in the 2nd.

This has been like a pick up game at the park.

If we win in the playin and play the Celtics, this Paolo is going to be hard to stomach.

Wheels back on the tracks.

Not taking much from this game, the magic know they can blow it open whenever they want and they are playing like it.

I love it when the ball doesn't stick in Paolo's hands. We need more of that.

I dont think this is a fluke, its finally clicked for Houstan

I wish he had playoff experience last year. It would be big for the playoff if we make it.

Kinda shocked how seriously people are taking this game.

He has one of the best looking jump shots in the entire NBA. A very pure form.

Get inside, kick the ball out, and you’ve got Harris and Houstan waiting. Good work CoJo.

That was a super impressive play. We all need to hope that this shooting isn't a fluke. Hell, he is shooting 39.6% from deep for the year.

.500 on the line and they’re playing a 2nd unit. Pride is on the line here.

If the Magic win tonight, that would clinch the division and the 7 seed.

My guess is that they would choose to sit people on Sunday.

Will definitely be the case, wouldn’t spend the cash.

81.1 TS% in March.

The bad thing about him is he does little else on the court, so if the shot isn't falling there isn't much there.

that along with the work ethic he has, it was inevitable it was going to click

he's also improved defensively since halfway thru the season, he doesnt stand out as a sore thumb defensively anymore

Nice shot by Paolo but he gotta swing that to Houstan

Potentially our first volume 3 pt shooter since T Ross/Fournier?

Mind boggling
