ORLANDO, FL – Wendell Carter Jr.’s Orlando Magic secured a thrilling victory Wednesday night, capped by a game-winning buzzer-beater from teammate Jonathan Isaac, prompting a three-word reaction from LSU basketball star Angel Reese: “That’s my baby!”
Reese’s social media post followed Isaac’s clutch shot, a notable moment for the Magic who are currently navigating a competitive Eastern Conference. Carter Jr. has been a key contributor to Orlando’s season, averaging 12.0 points and 7.5 rebounds per game as the team’s starting center. The Magic acquired Isaac’s teammate,Gary Harris Jr., via trade from the Memphis Grizzlies during the offseason. Harris is currently averaging 14.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists, though his three-point shooting has been a challenge, connecting on just 29.3% of his attempts.
The win underscores the Magic’s developing chemistry and Isaac’s growing role as a potential game-changer. Orlando is striving to solidify its playoff position, and moments like these highlight the team’s resilience and potential for success.
