Hornets and Magic on the Edge: Which Team Will Seize the Final Playoff Spot?
The Magic did not have drama like this in their game. In fact, their game was the one boring game of all the Play-In Games. Despite not having Joel Embiid, the 76ers took it to Orlando and beat them by a comfortable margin. Just to give you a comparison of games, the largest lead for Orlando against Philadelphia was three points. The 76ers was 12, which is what they won by. In addition, the Magic led that game for just six percent of the time, compared to 82% for the 76ers. So what does Orlando need to change if they want to advance and face Detroit? They definitely need to shoot better from deep. They only hit 26% of three point attempts, but they didn’t even take all that many (at least by current NBA standards). Paolo Banchero needs to be better as well. 18 points on 22 attempts is really tough to see. He also had six turnovers. Desmond Bane was the only guy who did anything for them on offense.
