The Orlando Magic were able to get back in the win column against the Chicago Bulls, 115-106. This win snaps a six-game losing streak for the Magic.
The Magic used balance and showed their potential going into the future, some young players with a lot of talent. If they can mesh and develop some continuity the Magic can be a dangerous team next season and for the rest of this one.
Wendell Carter Jr. was a part of the Nikola Vucevic trade and came over from Chicago. He had a big game against Chicago with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists. Carter spoke to the media on what it needs to happen in Orlando now and his and the team’s future.
“Being in Orlando, it’s an opportunity for me to showcase my game, an opportunity for me to show that I impact winning,” Carter said. “It’s a huge opportunity for me coming to Orlando. I’m gonna do everything I can to flourish.”
James Ennis led the way for the Magic with 22 points, four rebounds, and three assists. Michael Carter-Williams and Gary Harris scored 15 points apiece. Terrence Ross added 11 points off the bench, and Cole Anthony chipped in with 10. Contributions came from multiple places and this is the formula the Magic need to continue to shoot for to win ball games. Their next game is Friday 4/16 against the Raptors in Tampa. Tipoff is at 7:30 pm Eastern.
