My @orlandosports recap as Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner lift #Magic past Lakers:
“We were just locked in from start to finish,” Banchero said. “We knew this was going to be a big game for us and we knew we hadn’t won two games in a row in a long time.” orlandosentinel.com/2025/03/24/bee… – 11:45 PM

LAL was able to cut the Magic’s lead down to 7 but Franz Wagner as been money since, scoring 7 quick points to bring his game total to 30 and put ORL back up by 11. JJ Redick said Franz “boned” the Lakers the first time they met this season, too. – 9:18 PM

Franz Wagner is a consistently average 3-point shot away from competing for All-NBA slots. He’s grown so much as a ball-handler and decision-maker this year. Headed somewhere special if he can just get the shots to fall consistently. – 9:02 PM
