Orlando’s magic has impressed NBA fans after beating the Atlanta Hawks.
Orlando’s magic was dominant in the play-in game with the Atlanta Hawks. Honestly, the game had eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The star performer of the night was Cole Anthony. Cole Anthony got off the bench and dropped 26 points in just 20 minutes. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner didn’t move early, so he needed his performance.
Their performance tonight disproves Shannon Sharp’s claim that magic has been better with Wagner and Bancello, where magic is completely healthy and available.
Magic may have worse NBA season than last year. But they are pleased to have secured a playoff spot with the Celtics.

Fans were excited to see Orlando’s magic win. One fan was excited and insisted, “The Orlando Magic is going to win the NBA Championship!”
“I’m not Homer, but I haven’t seen Orlando’s magic drop the game in the playoffs,” another optimistic fan wrote after the magical victory.
“I wish the Orlando Magic a victory tonight, and their fans will be acting with ‘We Want Boston’ after the game,” one fan predicted a playoff series with the Celtics.
However, some fans were aiming for poison in the Atlanta Hawks. One fan said, “It’s just sad to watch Hawks basketball in 2025. Hawks fans have stopped watching the game and their pockets are dry.”
Despite their victory, one fan reminded them of their fate, saying, “You can’t have Franz Wagner and Paolo Bancello as your two best players and hope to become a championship team.”
As we said in the predictions for the NBA Play-In Tournament, the Magic won the Hawks, so they go to the playoffs to face the Boston Celtics.
Many will write down the spell soon, but it is important to remember that their record this season has been mainly injured by two star players.
Banchero and Wagner have been compared to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in the past. So taking them seriously will be the Celtics’ biggest concern
If the Celtics don’t approach the series the most important thing, you and the defending champions could be part of a rude awakening.
