Orlando Magic, Paul Banchero back decisive
Nba: Banchero drags Orlando. Victories for New York and Miami.
Four games were played on NBA night. A super Banchero gives Orlando a 101-93 victory over New Orleans. The first overall pick in the draft finishes with 29 points and eight rebounds. The Magic’s record now stands at 26 wins to their 36 losses.
In the other games, New York finds its sixth straight win against Boston (109-94) thanks to an excellent Randle 23 points and 7 rebounds. Miami sprinted past Phliadelphia (101-99) thanks to an acrobatic basket with 90 seconds left by Butler. Embid’s 27 points and Harden’s 20 and 12 assists were useless. Finally, bittersweet success for Charlotte, which beat Detroit (117-106) but lost Lamelo Ball to injury.
