Pistons vs. Magic: Unexpected Twists Signal a Series Full of High-Stakes Drama
Generally, the Magic can produce an effective defense, but they struggle against athletic wings who can cover a lot of ground in a short span of time. Thompson fits that bill.
The young wing asserted himself early, and kept the Pistons close, relentlessly attacking the rim and drawing fouls, as he finished with 17 points, 8 rebounds, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 3 assists.
It’s becoming a theme in Orlando that Paolo Banchero is overtaxed as a No. 1 option. He’s given the ball too far out of the paint and is asked to constantly initiate like he’s Nikola Jokić, which he is not.
