Paolo Banchero was ridiculous tonight. 31 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 assists. Also had no turnovers. This moment summed up his night for me: Weaponizes the threat of his scoring to create an open shot for his teammate. In total control of the game.

Orlando enters halftime with a 61-45 lead and look the best they have all series. Scored just 83 and 86 points in games 1 and 2, respectively.
They were sure their offense would show up at home, and it has — hooting 49% from the floor and hit eight 3’s. Banchero has 19 points. – 8:05 PM

“I just know how hard I work,” he says. “I wouldn’t be acting like this, I wouldn’t get upset or be a perfectionist if I didn’t work as hard as I do, and spend as much time as I do just studying the game, watching the game, thinking about the game. “At this point in the season, it’s not worth it. We don’t have time for it. In the position I’m in, I can’t be the guy who’s letting everything get to him.” -via ESPN / April 25, 2024
