Orlando Magic Show Off Offensive Skills in Victory Over Pacers

Orlando, FL – The Orlando Magic showcased their offensive skills during a dominant win against the Indiana Pacers, scoring 135 points on January 6, 2026. After a rough start to the season, the team’s recent performance indicates improvements, especially in closing games.

Magic guard Desmond Bane discussed the team’s focus on executing better late in games. “I mean, it’s something that we’ve talked about, you know, especially leading up to this game. Just how we can execute better down the stretch in half court situations,” Bane said. He praised Paolo Banchero‘s ability to drive to the basket and facilitate play, saying it significantly benefited the team.

In previous games against the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls, the Magic struggled in the fourth quarter despite holding leads. However, this time against the Pacers, they maintained their composure under pressure. “I mean, there was some poise. Understanding what we were trying to accomplish on a stretch,” Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley said, highlighting the team’s opportunity to share the ball effectively.

Despite their current position above .500, the Magic’s late-game execution remains a concern as they enter a tough stretch in their schedule. Tonight, they will face the Washington Wizards at 7 p.m. ET, providing another chance to strengthen their standing.

As they prepare for the game, Bane and other team members are aware that consistency will be key. Fans can catch the game on FanDuel Sports Network or via NBA League Pass.
