NBA Playoffs 2024: Magic Shock Nuggets in Game 1

NBA Playoffs 2024: Underdog Magic Stun Defending Champs in Game 1 Thriller

Orlando, FL – May 6, 2024 – The Orlando Magic, making their first playoff appearance in four years, shocked the basketball world by defeating the defending NBA champion Denver Nuggets 112-108 in a thrilling Game 1 of their first-round series.

Rising star Paolo Banchero led the charge with a career-high 38 points, including a clutch step-back three-pointer with 22 seconds left to seal the victory. The Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokić’s triple-double (27 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists), fought back from a 15-point deficit but couldn’t contain Orlando’s explosive young core.

'We knew nobody believed in us,' said Banchero in a post-game interview. 'But we’ve been grinding all season for this moment. This is just the beginning.'

The Magic’s defense was the difference-maker, forcing 18 turnovers and holding Jamal Murray to just 5-of-18 shooting. Meanwhile, Franz Wagner added 24 points, and Jalen Suggs locked down the perimeter with relentless energy.

Nuggets coach Michael Malone admitted his team was outplayed. 'Credit to Orlando—they came in with more intensity. We’ll adjust, but this is a wake-up call.'

Game 2 is set for Wednesday in Orlando, where the Magic will look to take a commanding 2-0 lead before the series shifts to Denver.
