🪄 Magic Make Their Move
In a night that turned the tide for Orlando, the Magic pulled off a powerful win, cruising past the Hawks with a 120-95 victory. Even though their usual stars Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner had an off night with cold shooting, it didn’t matter. The bench rose to the occasion — and how!
Anthony Black and Cole Anthony were on fire, bringing in a combined 42 points and lighting up the floor with confidence and rhythm. That energy? It was contagious. With this win, the Magic sealed the 7th seed in the East and now head into a fiery first-round playoff clash with the reigning champions.
💔 Hawks Left Hanging
It wasn’t an easy night for Atlanta. Trae Young’s fourth-quarter ejection after picking up two technicals only added to the frustration. The Hawks struggled to respond to Orlando’s relentless pace and now face a high-stakes elimination game. They’ll host whoever wins between the Bulls and the Heat — a match that could make or break their season.
🔥 West Showdown: Warriors vs. Grizzlies
Out West, all eyes are on the upcoming battle between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies. With the No. 7 seed on the line, it’s not just a game — it’s a war.
The Warriors are counting on Stephen Curry’s magic and the veteran leadership of Jimmy Butler to carry them through. On the flip side, the Grizzlies, even after a rocky season with injuries and leadership changes, aren’t backing down. Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Desmond Bane are ready to fight for their spot in the playoffs.
The winner? They’ll face the Houston Rockets. The loser? One more shot, but only if they can take down whoever wins between the Kings and the Mavericks.
