The Lead
Wendell Carter Jr. racked up a career-high 30 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, and the Orlando Magic held the Oklahoma City Thunder to just 32.6 percent field goal shooting in Sunday’s 90-85 victory at Amway Center.
Interesting Stat
Carter, who also had 16 rebounds, is the first Magic player this season with a 30-plus-point, 15-plus-rebound game. The last Orlando player to reach these marks was Nikola Vucevic on Feb. 19, 2021, when he also recorded 30 points and 16 boards.
Key Stretch
Trailing by seven with seven minutes and change left in the fourth, the Magic seized control behind an 11-0 run.
