Commendable effort in loss
Carter contributed 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 38 minutes during Sunday's 116-94 loss to Detroit in Game 7 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analyse
Carter logged a season-high 38 minutes, bringing the curtain down on what was a relatively successful season, at least from a personal standpoint. After establishing himself as the starting center on Opening Night, Carter held onto the position for the duration of the season. He finished the regular season with averages of 11.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.9 three-pointers in 78 outings. Although his lack of defensive contributions remains an issue, he did average 1.3 blocks per game over the final 15 games of the season, including the playoffs.

Modest offensive production
Carter recorded nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two assists and two blocks in 32 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 93-79 loss to Detroit in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analyse
Carter scored just nine points for the second straight game as Orlando blew a 24-point lead and eventually fell by 14 points. Through six games, Carter's production has seemingly been a measuring stick for the Magic. In three wins, he has averaged 14.3 points, 11.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. In three losses, his numbers have fallen to 7.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.
