Franz Wagner cannot carry the Orlando Magic alone

The weight of every passing minute in Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics felt big.

The Orlando Magic rallied from a 15-point deficit and tied the game in the third quarter. They were in a tight game, fighting to crest the hill to win.

As these games often do, they came down to the team's two star players.

Jayson Tatum is plenty established. He hit two big mid-range jumpers as the Magic trusted their man-to-man defense to close the game, keeping the Magic at arm's length.

Orlando needed its star in Franz Wagner to answer.
