With Paolo Banchero shining, the Magic are starting to make shots and pick up their pace. It has led to stronger offensive performances and hints of how this team can make up for their biggest weakness.The Magic will still have to work to get their defense back to an elite level.

What this episode covers

The Orlando Magic's offense has shown slight improvement in March, ranking 22nd with a 112.8 offensive rating. They're shooting better from three and playing at a faster pace. Cory Joseph's insertion into the starting lineup has helped. However, the team still needs to address offensive issues in the offseason to complement their strong defense.
