Magic's Paolo Banchero breaks wild NBA drought that lasted over 40 years in Game 3 win

The Orlando Magic clinched a decisive 121-83 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 3 of the NBA Playoffs, marking their first home playoff win since 2011 and recording the third-largest victory margin in their playoff history. This significant win has averted a potential 0-3 series deficit, revitalizing their postseason ambitions. Before the game, Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley made a strategic adjustment to the starting lineup, bringing back Wendell Carter Jr. His presence was intended to bolster the team's rebounding and interior defense, which had faltered in the previous games.
