BULLS VS MAGIC: Wagner leads Magic in the fourth quarter to victory over the Bulls
During the Orlando Magic’s victory over the Chicago Bulls, Franz Wagner maintained his recent form.ORLANDO: Franz Wagner, a forward with the Orlando Magic, has been playing at a higher level lately.
In every Magic victory this week, Wagner has scored thirty points or more, including thirty-six points on Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls. Fourteen of those thirty-six points were scored in the fourth quarter, as the Magic overcame a behind to force overtime.
Wagner stated after the game, “I think I got a couple of solid looks off the pick-and-roll and then I just tried to make the right play.” “We did a nice job of moving the ball and just finding various stuff that we liked out there, but I anticipated that they would be a little bit more aggressive. That’s the situation in these close games where both teams are somewhat aware of the opposing team’s intentions. Only need to locate one or two items. We did a fairly good job with it tonight, I believe.
This season, the Magic are 7-0 when Wagner scores 30 or more points, indicating that he must continue to be Paolo Banchero’s focal point of the offence. The Magic have a strong opportunity to win when they are both performing at their best. That’s the winning combination that’s developing in central Florida, and Wagner is leading the charge.
