Final: Bulls 102, Magic 99
Paolo Banchero finished with 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Banchero drilled a potential game-tying miracle 3-pointer, but officials say it came right after time expired. – 10:30 PM

Dosunmu 10 pts
Bulls 4-14 from 3
Banchero 20 pts, 5 rebs, 4 assists

Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
Giddey gets crossmatched on Banchero in transition and Banchero goes right through him for a foul. One issue with playing fast and having a roster that’s 70 percent guards is you leave yourself vulnerable to that – 8:50 PM

Jason Beede @therealBeede
As expected, the #Magic will start Jalen Suggs, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. against the Bulls tonight. – 7:04 PM

Paolo Banchero went for 50/13/9 last night, but the thing I loved most about it is that absolutely NONE of it was a selfish 50.
Had 15 potential assists created plus two hockey assists. Best game I’ve seen him play. Loved it. Here are some of the passes from the video I did pic.x.com/W9XVBwceUp – 9:38 PM

“Honestly, I didn’t drop 50 in high school or college so I really had never been in the zone like that,” #Magic forward Paolo Banchero said on @ESPN’s NBA Today. “To have it be on the biggest stage, in the NBA, in front of our home fans, it was amazing.” pic.x.com/REPHs3jH3W – 4:25 PM

Went live after the NBA games last night to talk about them and break down tape:
-Suns beat the Lakers. Really impressed with PHX’s defense, particularly Beal’s.
-Paolo Banchero’s best NBA game so far.
-Bucks D still bad.

#Magic’s Paolo Banchero told us he wasn’t happy after his 16-point performance in a loss at Memphis on Saturday.
So, naturally, he bounced back with 50 points against the Pacers.
“I keep having to remind myself that I’m still very young, very early in my career.”
