Magic 90, Thunder 85: Wendell Carter Jr. has a career night

One of the silver linings during another long year in Orlando, one that was much needed on a ugly night as such where a loss was more valuable than a win, has been the emergence of Carter Jr.
That continued Sunday as Carter Jr. scored a career-high 30 points on 12-for-15 shooting to lead the Magic to a 90-85 win over the Thunder.
It was apparent very early on that Carter Jr. was in store for a big night, as he had his way inside and scored eight of the Magic’s first 10 points.
