WARNING: Orlando Magic DELIVER Statement Win—Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane POWER Playoff Surge
The Orlando Magic surged past the Cleveland Cavaliers behind Desmond Bane’s electrifying 35-point performance and another strong defensive showing from Paolo Banchero for their fifth win in a row in a 128-122 victory.
The win serves notice that the Magic are a player in the Eastern Conference as they take over the 5-seed in the conference. This was a major win against a quality team that shows the team can still compete in the East. And they may be a sneaky team when the Playoffs begin.
The team’s breakout is finally here as they realize their potential at long last.

I'm looking forward to the playoffs 😁, Go Magic ✨💪🏾
Super win tonight! It was a fun game for sure.
D bane and Paolo the best 1 -2 punch in the league
We're waiting for your apology to Paolo. Let it be as loud as the hating…
F THEM PICKS
Can't wait for Boogie to join in.! 👋🤪👍
There's still room for upward movement in the standings. Toronto has lost the plot & while Cleveland has an easy schedule, the Knicks are going to be tested by some good teams. Franz & Black are only going to improve our chances.
Boy aint nobody fearing the magic stop it 😂😂
This is the statement win we needed (as big as the win in minnesota was) against a top team in the conference. We have now beat all 4 teams above us at least once. Whoever is the 1st round opponent, let's make their lives miserable. Go Magic!
Tristan is that 3rd guy making this team a lot better not everything is bane and paolo
Paolo and Coach Mosley challenging each other was the best thing to happen to this team!
We’ve been through so much this year! The whole league will feel us during the playoffs 😈
great win! the cavs are a scary team and seeing Paolo and Tristan playing like top tier 2-way players shows we can cause a ruckus in the playoffs.
"Finally, the Magic has come back… home!"
