Nets 27 points on 14 shots in loss
Banchero posted 27 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 38 minutes during Saturday's 119-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis
After coughing up the ball eight times over his previous two appearances, Banchero did a much better job taking care of it Saturday while also doing an excellent job defensively on Evan Mobley, helping hold Cleveland's star forward to just 13 points on 4-for-14 shooting. However, the end result was another loss for Orlando, and the Magic have now dropped three straight games.
