Orlando Magic's New Offensive Edge: Suggs & Banchero

0:00For the NBA, it's March 8th, and here's what's going on. Orlando Magic showed off a sharp new offensive edge in their match-up against the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 7th. The key was the two-man game between Jalen Suds and Paolo Benchero, which generated 16 points by putting their stars in prime spots to score. Suds handled point guard duties while Benchero ran the floor, creating plays like power slams, sneaky floaters, and driving finger rolls. They mixed in handoffs and assists, bending the defense out of shape. Desmond Bain stole the show with 30 points, all without a single three-pointer. He went 10 for 12 on two-pointers, drew 10 free throws, and made every one while dishing four assists through clever handoffs and screens. Benchero added 25 points on 10 of 18 shooting, grabbed 15 rebounds, and had three assists. Suds chipped in 14 points with three threes, four assists, two steals, and a block, forcing turnovers like clockwork.
