Magic Win 4th Straight, Beat Wolves 132-120 as Banchero Scores 20
The Orlando Magic are surging at exactly the right time. Paolo Banchero scored 20 points with 8 rebounds, Desmond Bane added 18 points and 6 assists, and Franz Wagner chipped in 17 as Orlando cruised past the Timberwolves 132-120 for their 4th straight win.
The Magic shot 53.7% from the field in their home finale — the kind of offensive efficiency that can carry a team deep into the playoffs. Minnesota, meanwhile, rested Anthony Edwards (right knee) and four other starters after clinching their playoff spot with a win at Indiana the night before.
Orlando's timing couldn't be better. Four straight wins heading into the final stretch of the regular season with their core healthy and clicking. The East playoff bracket is about to get interesting.
