Banchero Drops 31 as Magic Roll Past Pistons

Paolo Banchero continues to make Orlando appointment viewing. The third-year forward poured in 31 points to lead the Magic past the Detroit Pistons 123-107 on Monday night, with Franz Wagner adding 25 to power a balanced Orlando attack.

The Magic have quietly built one of the most complete rosters in the Eastern Conference, and nights like this show why. Banchero's combination of scoring versatility and playmaking gives Orlando a true number-one option who can hurt you from anywhere on the floor. Detroit simply had no answer.

With the regular season winding down and the playoffs approaching, Orlando looks like a team nobody wants to face in the first round. The Pistons, meanwhile, are still building — but games like this show how far they have to go.
