The #Magic set a franchise record for most points in a quarter and a half. They came out in the third quarter and only squeezed the #Sixers more. They opened up as much as a 46-point lead. They put themselves in a great spot to advance in the NBA Cup.

#Magic win 144-103.

Jett Howard just hit a layup off the top of the backboard. That kind of night.

#Magic coasting to the end. Officials are burying their whistles on anything that isn't egregious so we can get out of here.

137-97 ORL, 2:04 4th

The #Magic have completely emptied their bench now. Appears they are satisfied with the scoring margin. And this group, most of whom played that fourth quarter on Sunday, is still scoring.

133-89 ORL, 6:26 4th

Note from the broadcast. This is a franchise-record fifth straight game scoring 120 points for the #Magic.

Again, this is a top-10 offense in the NBA.

The NBA Cup makes you do strange things.

The #Magic open the fourth quarter with a five-point lead over the #Raptors for the top seed in the East.

Toronto plays Indiana on Friday. Orlando plays Detroit.

So, keep running it up, I guess.

Anthony Black got his first 30-point game with 31. Tyus Jones with a buzzer-beating layup to end the third quarter. The #Magic lead 121-83 over the #Sixers after three.

Orlando now has a 31-point lead over the Cavs for the Wild Card.

They have passed Toronto for the 1-seed.

This is a top-10 offense in the NBA.
November 26, 2025 at 3:03 AM
This is why I still think the NBA should cap point differential to 20 points if it is a tiebreaker in the NBA Cup.

The #Magic must extend this lead as much as they can to build a cushion for the wild card.

100-67 ORL, 6:49 3rd

Tracy McGrady made a pretty impassioned plea at halftime to Paolo Banchero to keep the ball moving and not slow down this offense. The #Magic are in the top 10 in offensive rating. All of this is very repeatable and can play to Paolo's strengths.

95-67 ORL, 7:23 3rd

I have the #Magic at 56 possessions tonight. That is 86 points on 56 possessions:

A 153.6 offensive rating!

The #Magic also scored a franchise-record 51 points in the second quarter.

Previous high was 50 points in the first quarter of that game in December 2022 against the Hawks.
November 26, 2025 at 2:30 AM
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.

Suggs is wired kind of differently. Mosley was visibly on him to stay focused. Suggs lets his emotions run away sometimes.
November 26, 2025 at 2:22 AM
Carter and Drummond both get technical fouls. Suggs gets two technical fouls and is ejected. Hopefully, that is it for penalties for Suggs and he is good for Friday night. But his night is done.

4 points, 11 assists, 5 rebounds for Suggs.

82-58 ORL, 0:26.2 4th
November 26, 2025 at 2:22 AM
Wendell Carter and Andre Drummond went face up and looked like they were about to square up. Jalen Suggs got involved in it too and might be facing a penalty for jumping in when he didn't have to.

Have to hope this stops at tonight. Can't afford to lose Suggs for Friday.
November 26, 2025 at 2:18 AM
The #Magic are clowning the #Sixers right now.

82-58 ORL, 0:32 2nd

Jett Howard beats a closeout off the dribble for a layup. Then he shoots the gap and nearly gets a steal. And then he drains a three.

Kid is still hot.

77-52 ORL, 1:49 2nd
November 26, 2025 at 2:14 AM
Anthony Black has a career-high 25 points. He has scored 18 in the second quarter.

Just got an alley-oop lob after Trendon Watford fell to the floor with an injury.

Black is cooking.

68-49 ORL, 4:07 2nd

The #Magic need every point they can get for NBA Cup tiebreaking purposes. They trail the Cavs (2-1) by 13 points. Cleveland closes group play at Atlanta on Friday. Building a little cushion in case they lose Friday is huge.

64-47 ORL, 5:21 2nd
November 26, 2025 at 2:03 AM
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
