Orlando Magic Win Eighth Straight Game Against Washington Wizards
December Matchup Ends in Washington Defeat
In a heated NBA matchup on December 13, the Orlando Magic emerged victorious over the Washington Wizards with a final score of 119-100. The Magic's eight-game winning streak continued as they dominated the Wizards at home.
Wizards Struggle to Keep Pace
The Wizards faced an uphill battle throughout the game. Despite strong performances from Kristaps Porzingis (22 points) and Deni Avdija (17 points), they were unable to match the Magic's efficiency and intensity. Orlando's stingy defense held Washington to just 40.7% shooting from the field, including 26.9% from three-point range.
Magic Dominate on Both Ends
In contrast to the Wizards' struggles, the Magic showcased a balanced and dominant performance. Franz Wagner led the scoring with 31 points, while Paolo Banchero contributed 28 points, 13 rebounds, and seven assists. Wendell Carter Jr. added 20 points and 10 rebounds, completing a formidable frontcourt trio for Orlando.
Wizards Look to Rebound
The Wizards will have an opportunity to regroup as they face the Philadelphia 76ers in their next game on December 17. Washington will need to improve their defensive communication and shot selection if they want to avoid a similar fate against the reigning Eastern Conference champions.
