🧙‍♂️ Result: Orlando advances to the NBA Playoffs as the No. 7 seed

ORLANDO — The Magic pulled a rabbit out of their hat and the Hawks out of the playoffs.
In a dazzling display of hoops and hocus-pocus, the Orlando Magic conjured a 120-95 victory over the Atlanta Hawks, securing their spot as the Eastern Conference’s No. 7 seed.

🎩 Orlando’s Enchanted Evening

  • Cole Anthony came off the bench like a man possessed, dropping 26 points, including 13 in a fourth-quarter flurry that had fans chanting, “Abracada-buckets!”
  • Wendell Carter Jr. added 19 points, proving he’s more than just a tall guy with a cool name.
  • Paolo Banchero contributed 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists, nearly achieving a triple-double and possibly summoning spirits with his court vision.
  • Anthony Black, the rookie with a name straight out of a spy novel, chipped in 16 points off the bench, helping Orlando’s reserves outscore Atlanta’s 57-30.

🐦 Hawks’ Flightless Night

  • Trae Young led all scorers with 28 points but was ejected in the fourth quarter after arguing with referees. Rumor has it he tried to cast a spell to reverse the score.
  • The Hawks managed to claw back within six points entering the fourth quarter but were ultimately outmatched by the Magic’s sorcery.

🔮 The Road Ahead

With this victory, the Magic earn a playoff date with the Boston Celtics in a best-of-seven series beginning Sunday in Boston. Time to see if their magic can withstand the Celtics’ storied history and leprechaun luck.

😂 Final Take

  • Orlando’s performance was nothing short of magical, leaving fans spellbound and opponents bewildered.
  • The Hawks will now face the winner of the Bulls vs. Heat game for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot. May the odds be ever in their favor.
