Stats & Highlights | The Magic and Raptors avoid pitfalls
March 4, 2024
Five weeks before the end of the regular season, nothing is decided in the East, and the Magic returns to 6th place, qualifying for the playoffs. The teammates of Paolo Banchero sign a 3rd victory in a row, and the 11th in 14 matches! Against the Pistons, it's Markelle Fultz who stunned the match before the break with 10 points in a row. 100% on shots, he then let Paolo Banchero make the break after returning from the locker room with a 20-3 which definitively repels the Pistons. Coming off the bench, Evan Fournier finished as Detroit's top scorer with 17 points.
In Toronto, we don't dream of a Top 6 but still of the “play-in”. Like the Nets, the Raptors have the Hawks in their sights, and tonight, they can count on the former Knicks, the pair Quickley–Barrett, to push back the Hornets. Now deprived of Scottie Barnes, but also of Jakob Poeltl during the match, Darko Rajakovic's players sign a 7th victory in a row at home.
It was their speed, or rather the absence of defensive withdrawal from Charlotte, that they made the difference with 23 points scored on the counter-attack, but also the throws. The Hornets managed to go ahead in the last minute thanks to Grant Williams and David Bertans, but Quickley scored a 6/6 on the line to validate the victory.
