Paolo Banchero matches season high with 37 points as Magic ease past Wizards
126-109
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) --- Paolo Banchero equaled a season high with 37 points,
Desmond Bane scored 25 and the Orlando Magic eased to a 126-109 victory over
the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night.
Banchero went 15 of 21 from the field as Orlando shot 55.3% and dominated with
its starters on the floor to end a two-game skid. The Magic are seventh in the
Eastern Conference.
Jett Howard scored 12 points and Jalen Suggs, Jevon Carter and Moritz Wagner
had 10 apiece for an Orlando team that was missing injured regulars Anthony
Black (quad), Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) and Franz Wagner (ankle).
Rookie Will Riley scored 19 points and Jaden Hardy added 18 for the Wizards,
who had nine healthy players available and lost their sixth straight.
Angel Reese of the WNBA's Chicago Sky was in attendance to watch her brother,
Washington's Juju Reese, make his second career start. The 6-foot-9 rookie out
of Maryland had nine points and eight rebounds in 32 minutes.
The Wizards led briefly in the second quarter and kept it within single digits
until early in the third, when a layup by Suggs put the Magic ahead 66-56.
Orlando led by double digits the rest of the way and pushed its advantage to 25
points in the fourth quarter.
