Franz Wagner, Markelle Fultz Have Strong Performances Despite Loss to Wizards

The Lead

Franz Wagner posted 28 points and Markelle Fultz stuffed the stat sheet with a season-high 19 points, three rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks, but the Orlando Magic, despite leading by as many as 12 in the first half, fell 127-110 to the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night at Capital One Arena.

Key Stretch

The Wizards went on a 10-2 run midway through the fourth quarter to build a double-digit lead. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope started the surge with a 3-pointer, Daniel Gafford slammed home a dunk and Kristaps Porzingis tipped in a miss during that stretch.
