The Magic beat the Wolves 132-120 behind Paolo Banchero's 20 points for their 4th straight win.

The Orlando Magic are peaking at exactly the right time. Paolo Banchero scored 20 points to lead Orlando past the Timberwolves 132-120 on Wednesday, extending their win streak to four games as the regular season winds down.

Orlando sits at 44-36, one game back of the sixth-place Raptors and two behind the Hawks in the Eastern Conference. With three games remaining, every win matters. The Magic and 76ers are tied for seventh — meaning the loser likely ends up in the Play-In Tournament instead of a guaranteed playoff spot.

Minnesota, meanwhile, is locked into the sixth seed in the West at 47-33 despite a recent skid. They rested Anthony Edwards again (knee), which tells you where their priorities are: healthy for the playoffs, not chasing regular-season wins.
