STEAL: Orlando Magic SHOCK Mavericks—Wendell Carter, Jalen Suggs DELIVER Must-Win Comeback
The Orlando Magic stunned the Dallas Mavericks with Wendell Carter’s clutch dunk with a second remaining, scoring the last five points of the game to erase a late four-point deficit.
With the Playoffs coming into focus, every win matters, and this was one the team absolutely needed to have. It proved the team’s will to win and how their energy for the full 48 minutes can deliver them into the Playoffs.
Still, the Magic looked lethargic for much of the game and were hunting for that trademark energy, only finding it in the third quarter and late in the game to steal the victory. The Magic will need a lot more to get where they want to go in the Playoffs.

Da Silva made almost all clutch shots. 100% from the field. Great defense. More minutes!
Bottom line magic with Franz are a 50+ team, without a 40 wins team. Hopefully he’ll be back for the playoffs, otherwise it’s focus on the next season.

It DOES matter how they win. How are they supposed to beat any of Min, Cle, Cha or Okc like this when they need to given the amount of bad losses vs weak teams?
Suggs getting back to himself!
Da Silva was always playing better offense than black from the start of the season…he wasn't far from 15 point per game then they took some his playing time and gave it to penda after that black really took off…but before they limited da Silva he was playing good coming from eurobasketball…point is da Silva plays more mature and consistent than black who has a lot more growth but DA Silva has been better than Black who relies on quick first step and if it's not there he shoots a step back three while da Silva can mix it up…black is a better two way player no doubt good to have both with different styles
Let Javon Carter be the main character and force teammates to step up their game (especially the superstar players).
13-8 to end the season is my prediction
Paolo still needs to be more consistent
We saw a little flashback of #1 Jalen Suggs (Gonzaga) last night! Impressive win baby!!!
That end had my heart beating like I had 10 cups of coffee. Thank god for WCJ and Aang

Y’all been fooled all year; Google our w/l record versus teams +.500. We’re at a point where we will “take what we can”… far from a competitive team… stop it 🧢
