The Orlando Magic have maintained fifth place in the Eastern Conference and are still on course for the play-offs after beating the Raptors – thanks in part to an outstanding Franz Wagner.
The Orlando Magic are still in fifth place in the East and on a direct path to the playoffs. The team won 113-103 against the Toronto Raptors on Friday (local time) thanks to world champion Franz Wagner.
The German contributed 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals, making him the Magic’s top scorer. “It’s hard to win in this league. That’s why I think it says something about our group that we find ways to win games. The development is really cool to see,” said Wagner. His brother Moritz Wagner contributed seven points and three rebounds off the bench.
