Orlando Magic Game Grades: 126–95 Loss to Golden State Warriors

For grading scale, please see end of article.

Franz Wagner: 77.56

During a quiet night from Cole Anthony, Wagner stepped up as an offensive facilitator and dished out a team-leading six assists. On the scoring side, Wagner posted 15 points, and narrowly missed several impressive shots in the post that would’ve generously boosted his box score and game grade.

Chuma Okeke: 73.47

After a slow start to the game, Okeke was the Magic’s best player in the 2nd half. Okeke particularly shined on the defensive end, only recording one negative defensive play during his 25 minutes on the court.

Wendell Carter Jr: 72.58

Carter was the Magic’s most productive player, putting up a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Defensively, Carter was impressive in the low-post but was abused when the Warriors lured him out to the perimeter.

R.J Hampton: 71.90

Hampton spent most of his night glued to a red-hot Stephen Curry, and did a fantastic job of not allowing him to get an open shot. Unfortunately, Stephen Curry does not always need an open look and still sank several in the face of Hampton. The young shooting guard had several impressive shots of his own, but lazy turnovers in the 4th quarter brought down his overall game grade.

Cole Anthony: 66.53

Despite some impressive defensive effort, Anthony’s game grade sunk after an ice-cold night on the offensive end. Anthony struggled to separate from the Warriors defense, shooting 3–11 from the field and 0–5 from three-point range.

Gary Harris: 58.75

Harris led the Magic in scoring and recorded a highlight-worthy steal from Stephen Curry, yet still tallied the 3rd lowest game grade of the night. Harris was frequently the culprit of failing to switch on pick and roll defense, and Stephen Curry took full advantage. Additionally, two blunderous turnovers, a technical foul, and a basket interference call helped erase the positive effects of Harris’ scoring.

Mo Bamba: 60.95

Terrence Ross: 60.90

Mychal Mulder: 58.75

Moritz Wagner: 57.64

Ignas Brazdeikis: 50.00
