Franz Wagner Leads Magic to Back-to-Back Wins Over Nets

Orlando extends its winning streak to six games, showcasing defensive dominance and strong performances from Wagner and Caldwell-Pope.

The Orlando Magic defeated the Brooklyn Nets twice in three days, with a 123-100 win on Friday and a 100-92 victory on Sunday, extending their winning streak to six games.
Franz Wagner has been pivotal for Orlando, scoring 29 points in Friday's game and contributing 20 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists on Sunday.
The Magic have thrived despite the absence of star Paolo Banchero, going 12-1 in their last 13 games and relying on their top-ranked defense to stifle opponents.
Brooklyn struggled with injuries and absences, including leading scorer Cam Thomas and key players like Dorian Finney-Smith and Dennis Schroder, leading to lineup instability.
Orlando's defensive prowess was on display Sunday, holding Brooklyn to 25.8% shooting from three-point range and forcing six turnovers in the fourth quarter to seal the win.
