What this episode covers
The Orlando Magic offense remains a work in progress, showing flashes of its ideal formula but lapsing into old habits under pressure. Paolo Banchero and Desmond Bane stepped up, while rookie Noah Penda proved a difference-maker. Injuries force others to contribute, yet offensive consistency and urgency are still missing.
