LEADERSHIP: Orlando Magic’s Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane, Anthony Black DELIVER Comeback Win

The Orlando Magic's "Killer B's" -- Paolo Banchero, Desmond Bane and Anthony Black -- stepped up in the fourth quarter and delivered a killer run to defeat the New Orleans Pelicans. They scored 28 of the 30 points in a 30-11 push to end the game, and erase a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit.

They showed the effort and leadership that they will need to get through the rest of the season. The only question is why it took three quarters to find that intensity again. The Magic played their style to get the win. But it was a poor defensive effort that continued a troubling trend of inconsistent play.

The good news is the Magic felt a rush of energy with the return of Moe Wagner after he missed the last year with a torn ACL.
