The Wolves have 71 points at the half.
The Magic scored 88 points for the game.
Orlando needs a pure scorer in the worst way. The other pieces are kind of there, but need someone to put points on the board.

Lonzo Ball skills are best suited for another team. If I’m the Orlando Magic I’d seriously consider calling the Lakers because ORL has the best young frontcourt in the eastern conference with Bamba, Gordon, and Issac. Lonzo would be tremendous here in Orlando. #Yoda
