LETS GO MAGIC🪄
Huge win against NBA champs
Magic bench > Denver starters
Vegas made the call
I'm a nuggets fan respect to Orlando
nuggets got a taste of their own medicine after the game in san fran
P.B. Earned His Triple Double Debut On The Road vs The NBA Champions.
Denver with no off-ball movement late. Very uncharacteristic. Props to Orlando for taking advantage and playing with heart.
ORLANDO PLAYED VERY HARD ON THIS WESTCOAST TOUR.1-3 COULD OF BEEN 4-0
ENORMOUS RESPECT FOR THE MAGIC & WITHOUT FRANZ THEY PLAYED WELL AGAIN
I love to see nuggets twolves and okc losses yes let my Celtics stay at the top baby although I kinda like the nuggets okc fans and twolves fans annoying
The magic allowed jokic to get the inbound pass for the final possession with 9 seconds and jokic gave the ball up?

Magic got potential
Tnx magic- steph curry😂
As a warriors fan, thank you magic for beating nuggets, you guys revenged for us thank you so much
I will give you respect
Magic just shut down the hype over the Nuggets and Jokic. Media's darling also lost to the Grizzlies. It's time to focus on other stuff just not about the nba for now.
Dang, the Magic payed great this game, especially Banchero. I love the defense shown by both teams but the Magic forced all those crucial turnovers to win the game. I know it’s 1 game, but Nuggets will bounce back.
Disappointed, Jokic only 4 rebounds. Bamchero 19 free throws, Jokic 4, that's a joke. Denver got outrebounded again at home, and Malone kept Jordan on the bench. Nuggets bench is the worst in the league. They can't score. Made some trade while Jokic and Murray are at their peak.
Love to see Magic win they deserve it
Yesterday’s game was a fluke, Jokic flopping is what sparked their comeback. I hope Denver never wins another championship and stays a 1 hit wonder
What happen jokic u didn’t feel like shooting a half court shot for game today💀
Ngl when i seen Denver was up by 18 i turned the tv off thinking it was over what a mistake 😂
Thank You Orlando Magic👏👏
Paolo game progression is superb! Slowly the Nuggets will start running out of luck and the injury gods will start to plague them, the refs will not give them favorable calls and team chemistry will change for the worst.
Solid win by the Magic. Hope to see Suggs and Anthony play consistently like this.
Here are your winners Team Disney Cartoon Elites
NBA got what it wanted. Scheduling the champs back to back more than any other team.
McNuggets got their karma for flopping their way into a comeback yesterday. Thank You Magic 🙏🙏
YOU CAN DO MAGIC 😂👍
Get rid of KCP
Murray fouled hard on the last shot, shoulda went into OT
49% of Denver’s games have been back to backs. They’ve played 9, more than any other team. Ok, this is beyond ridiculous NBA to create a schedule like this. It will be nice to get to the part of the schedule where these are less frequent and they hit other teams more.
Damn magic better than the warriors????!!!
34 FTs for Orlando, 19 for Denver, Malone should do a Kerr and go to the media about this. That story made lots of news, yet tonight’s disparity is no news for these same media.
Most of the back-to-back games are over for the Nuggets. The schedule has been crazy to start the season, but it gets much better from here. And yes, it's an excuse. No one wants to play b2b games. Basketball is a highly taxing game for the starters and a day of rest is absolutely warranted. That's why there are no b2b games in the playoffs.
Ew so close, not bad for a contested shot.
Good..
This game had amazing defense
You can't play down to the level of your opponents…..especially at home. They let Orlando get hot by not playing hard enough, then down the stretch no matter how well they played on defense, the Magic shot better. Still should have won. Need better designed plays for those circumstances. KCP didn't pass when he could have, then threw the ball away, then Murray had 3 guys jump out at him so ONE of his other 4 teammates had to have been open but instead he forced up an impossible shot. Stop with the hero ball bullshit and pass around looking for the best shot.
Some Nuggets 2nd team players, even when they reach peaks of their carriers, doubt would be anything but average players, at the best. Not sure Nnaji can get even there.
See what happen when Denver don’t get 20+ free throws? It would’ve been a back to back lost.
Denver would sweep Orlando in a nba finals series i guarantee that
