Franz Wagner signs a massive deal

The Orlando Magic compiled an imperious win over the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference 7 seed vs 8 seed play-in game. Orlando blew the game wide open with a 15-point lead early in the first quarter. While their big guns Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero weren’t firing, their stout defense kept Atlanta in check. Cole Anthony ended the game as the top scorer for Orlando with 26 points on 10/17 shooting.

Trae Young, who was the highest scorer in the game with 28, had little help from his teammates. Frustrated with the refereeing at the end of the outing, he got into a kerfuffle with the referees. Young was given his second technical and ejected from the floor, following which he faked the referee out with the ball on his way off the court. Young will undoubtedly be investigated and fined in the coming days.

A shoulder injury to Jalen Johnson poured water on the Hawks’ hopes of making a run earlier this year. The team will now fight it out for the 8th seed against the winner of Miami Heat vs Chicago today. The winners of that bout will face the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are 64-18 on the season and top seeds in the East. Cleveland will undoubtedly be favored heavily against the winner of the play-in tournament.

With the contest completely out of the Hawks’ hands in the closing stages, most spectators and viewers tuned themselves out. The in-arena videographers found themselves filming various actions by players on the bench and by people seated near them. One of them inadvertently caught a woman vigorously shaking a sachet behind Franz Wagner. The contents of the packet looked white, and the way she was treating the sachet led to some hilarious reactions on NBA Twitter.

A few fans suggested rather seriously that the sachet looked like a tea bag. That does seem like a logical explanation – yet, why would a fan with no hot water be using a tea bag at a basketball event?

Perhaps a more logical explanation would be that the spectator was using a pocket hand warmer. Yet, it was a typical spring night with no cold in the air around Orlando, which cuts that explanation off as well.

Perhaps the mystery of the inconspicuous baggie will remain unsolved for the foreseeable future!

Orlando Magic will be heavy underdogs against the Boston Celtics

The 2023-24 Orlando Magic seemed to have the measure of the Celtics, based on the results of their fixtures in the regular season over the past couple of years. Orlando have a lot of length and athleticism at every position to throw at offensive players. Players like Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac and Wendell Carter Jr are elite defenders at their positions when fully fit.

However, Jalen Suggs is out of the postseason with a season-ending injury sustained earlier in the season. The Magic are also short on reliable shooters, relying on combo guard Anthony Black to be their backup point guard. It will be difficult for their offense to keep pace with the reigning champion Boston Celtics.

The Celtics enter the series as whopping -6000 favorites – meaning you’d have to bet $6000 to win $100 on them. The Magic have been graded as +1600 underdogs, meanwhile.
