“He was a force tonight, just on the glass, on both sides of the ball,” #Magic’s Paolo Banchero said about Wendell Carter Jr. (17 PTS, 9 REB, 6 STL, 3 BLK). “He was huge for us. He [gave] us extra opportunities on offense and helping us out close out possessions on defense.” pic.x.com/cSh6aMNydK – 11:13 PM

“Paolo is a really good player. He makes plays,” Hawks guard Trae Young told reporters about #Magic forward Paolo Banchero. “He’s going to make plays and you’ve got to make it as tough as you can on him, but it’s not going to be perfect.”

“All 4 of these (final) games matter. We can’t take any of them lightly. I think having that experience last year of having to play all 82 to the very end helps us do the same this year.” – Paolo Banchero, whose @OrlandoMagic host the Hawks tonight
