Overview
- The Magic finished on an 11-0 burst, with Franz Wagner and Tristan da Silva hitting three straight threes to seal it.
- Paolo Banchero sat with a strained left groin, and da Silva started and delivered 22 points and nine rebounds on 5-for-9 from deep.
- Brooklyn forced a season-high 19 turnovers while committing just seven, yet lost the boards 48-36 and the second‑chance battle 25-5.
- Michael Porter Jr. posted 24 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high seven assists but went 1-for-6 in the fourth as the Nets went scoreless over the final 2½ minutes.
- The result moved Orlando to 2-0 in East Group B and dropped Brooklyn to 0-2 and 1-11 overall; next up are road trips to Houston for the Magic and Washington for the Nets.
