Statement from Jamahl Mosley:

[Real App @realapp]

Desmond Bane is the first player in Magic history to have back-to-back playoff games with:

20+ PTS
5+ 3PM

[NBA on ESPN @ESPNNBA]

JAMAL CAIN ON JALEN DUREN 🥶

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

The Magic had 19 points off TOs in the first half, their most in any half of a playoff game in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98) 🪄

[StatMuse @statmuse]

Paolo Banchero in Game 3 vs Detroit:

25 PTS
12 REB
9 AST
3 STL
2 BLK

The youngest player in NBA history with those numbers in a playoff game.

[NBA @NBA]

A gritty, all-out defensive effort from the Magic in a scrappy Game 1 win! 💪

Orlando takes a 1-0 series lead.

Game 2: Wednesday, 7pm/et on ESPN 🍿

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

Early in the 4th quarter, the Pistons have not held a lead Sunday vs Orlando.

If that holds, it would be the 1st time in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98) that a 1-seed did not lead at any point in their playoff opener.

1-seeds have gone a full playoff game without leading REGARDLESS of series game number four times in that span, most recently Chicago in 2011 (Game 4 1st round vs IND)

[NBACentral @TheDunkCentral]

Paolo Banchero career playoff averages:

27.6 PPG
8.5 RPG
4.1 APG
45% FG
42% 3PT

Playoff riser? 👀

"Anthony Black on four defenders?!"

The top dunk of the regular season… Anthony Black!

"This is actually the first sporting event that I've attended since starting to lose my vision, and it's a game changer.”

Finally being able to "feel" his favorite team play in-person
