Wizards 127, Magic 110: Big nights from Wagner, Fultz not enough for Magic
Markelle Fultz always puts on a show while playing in his hometown of Washington, and this time Franz Wagner got in on the act.
But big nights from both wasn’t enough as the Orlando defense struggled all night and the Magic lost to the Wizards, 127-110.
Wagner opened the game strong, scoring 13 points on 5-for-8 shooting in the first quarter as the Magic built an early lead.
That included a pair of threes, with the Magic combining to go 6 of 11 from deep in the first quarter. Back-to-back threes by Chuma Okeke capped a 13-1 Orlando run that opened a 35-23 lead.
The Magic shot 48 percent overall in the quarter, committing only one turnover, to take a 35-28 lead after one.
