Anfernee Simons led the Portland Trail Blazers to a commanding 100-79 victory over the Orlando Magic, extending their winning streak to three games. Simons scored 21 points, while Toumani Canara contributed 16 points and six rebounds. The Blazers' defense was highlighted by Jabari Walker's six steals and Robert Williams’ game-high 12 rebounds. The victory was a setback for the Magic, who were hoping for a strong performance from returning forward Franz Wagner, who scored 20 points but struggled in his comeback. Orlando's shooting woes continued, as they hit just 34.2% of their shots and suffered their fifth consecutive loss.

Portland took control in the third quarter with a pivotal 10-1 run, highlighted by a dunk from Shaedon Sharpe. The Magic’s performance deteriorated as they managed only three successful three-point attempts from 18 attempts and committed 22 turnovers. Despite Paolo Banchero’s efforts, shooting a mere 1 for 14, Orlando could not find their rhythm. As the Blazers prepare for their next game against Charlotte, the Magic must regroup before facing the Detroit Pistons.
