It was key in particular to watch these two players have that moment. Part of the joy of the playoffs is watching players come of age to a degree. It’s not just understanding the assignment; it’s execution on top of it. The story is still unwritten. Can Banchero find enough buckets to get the 8-seed Magic over the top?

He went 5 of 18 against a Suns group eager to show early help to counter his driving lanes, and that worked to contest every shot. The Thunder rolled, but it may have raised a question or two.
