Kings 126, Magic 123: Paolo Banchero’s career-high not enough

Two of the league’s top rookies took centerstage Saturday evening as Paolo Banchero and the Magic faced off against the 2022 No. 4 overall pick Keegan Murray and the Sacramento Kings.

Terrence Ross returned to the Magic’s lineup tonight after missing their previous game with an injury, but Bol Bol remained in the Magic’s starting five.

Orlando opened the game with a 22-8 lead, shooting 91%(!) from the field in the process. But the law of averages brought the Magic back to earth, as Sacramento responded with a 15-4 run over the next three minutes.
