RELENTLESS: Orlando Magic CRUSH Timberwolves in Paint, Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane LEAD Charge
The Orlando Magic overpowered the Minnesota Timberwolves with a dominant paint presence to runaway with the victory 119-92. Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane helped set the tone with their constant attacks to the basket. Can the Magic revive their aggressive, paint-based mentality as they hit the final 20 games of the season?
Both Bane and Banchero set the tone with 30 and 25 points respectively, both working a lot in the paint and not on the perimeter. That mentality permeated the entire team as they kept the Timberwolves from finding a rhythm and constantly pressured them at the rim on both ends.
In a tightening playoff race, this is the exact kind of win the Magic need to get. It puts them in a position to climb into sixth and catch the teams ahead of them as the team rounds the final pole for the final 20 games of the season.

Paolo dominated Julius Randle
@lockedonmagic you need to travel with the team more often. i didn't think they would win this game. you brought them luck.
Happy P5 has picked up his aggression, defense and just leading by example. we need to keep winning and hope Toronto and Sixers keep losing.
Impressive performance, they were very disciplined against a monstrous start by Anthony Edwards and from there they started bullying the wolves on both ends! This was one of the best wins in the entire season. Keep it up!
I hope we don't face the cavs or boston those are the 2 teams we should try our best to avoid,if we can't we just gotta lock tf in
