Banchero already has three wins in four games with the Celtics.
The Boston Celtics won 72.9% of their games in the current NBA season. So far, only nine of the 27 franchises he’s faced this season (he hasn’t played the Portland Trail Blazers or Utah Jazz yet) have managed to beat the 35-13 Eastern Conference leaders. And of these, unbelievably, it seems to be his stone in the shoe Orlando Magic.
The Florida franchise located in the East 13th placewith a 38.3% winning percentage and four games into the Play-In zone, beat the Celtics again tonight and are currently the only franchise to win a Regular Season series against those Celtics, with three wins in four games.

This time Orlando snapped a nine-game winning streak for the Celtics, the dominant team of the month of January in the East. He did it with Jayson Tatum in front, unlike the last win they had achieved. JT scored 26 points, as did Jaylen Brown, but that didn’t save the Celtics in this one either. down 113-98 with a poor offensive performance in the second half.
Orlando relied on its young talent to take the game forward and be able to defend its advantage in the final quarter. The noob Paolo Bansero added 23 points, Wendell Carter Jr. signed a double-double of 21 points and 11 rebounds and Cole Anthony added 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists off the bench.
With 6-5 record in 2023orlando is still among the five worst teams of the 2022-2023 season, but their current situation has already improved a lot compared to this statement that has more to do with his miserable 5-20 start than his 13-9 record since December 7th.

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
