Anyways, before Paolo's injury, he was already starting to show hints of moving the ball and making quicker decisions. The #Magic were better with Banchero on the floor through the first 10 games. This was coming anyway.

The #Magic are a top-10 offense in the NBA.
November 26, 2025 at 2:38 AM
The #Magic set a franchise record for most points in a half with 86 tonight.

Previous high was 83 points in the second half of Scott Skiles' 30-assist game against the Nuggets in 1990.

Previous first half high was 81 points in that April game against the Hawks in 2019.
The #Magic score a franchise record 84 points in the first half (most points in any half). Anthony Black scored 20 of his career-high 27 points in the 2nd quarter. #Magic have blown the game open when they need it for NBA Cup purposes.

#Magic lead the #Sixers 86-60 at halftime.
November 26, 2025 at 2:29 AM
Anthony Black shoots 37.5% from three in #Magic wins. He shoots 25.0% in #Magic losses.

Tonight, he is 3 for 4.

No stat correlates more with winning than AB's shooting. Aggressive and confident AB is a huge weapon.
The #Magic are really tough to beat when Anthony Black is aggressive AB.

A mid-court alley-oop finish and another corner three. He has 13 of his 20 points in the second quarter.

The #Magic are getting separation now.

54-43 ORL, 7:21 2nd

The #Magic's rookies have struggled to get meaningful playing time to begin their careers.

Injuries and a blowout pushed them into the lineup. In their first big moment, they both delivered and demanded a bigger look:

Jalen Suggs appears to be officially unleashed from his injury restrictions and better prepared to take down the NBA:

My sister graduated from Penn and my family did not understand why I was so determined to go to the Palestra while we were on campus. Was bitterly disappointed that it was closed and being used for the business school's ceremony.
PHILADELPHIA — Every religion has a sacred pilgrimage. For college basketball purists, it’s this 8,722-seat marvel.

Game #13, hoops as it was meant to be played, a #Big5 battle between Penn and Saint Joseph’s. Monday night Mass is served at 7:00. #FightOnPenn #THWND
