Wendell Carter Jr. scores career-high 30 in Magic’s win over Thunder

Ahead of Sunday’s home matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic coach Jamahl Mosley wanted to see how his team would respond defensively after allowing a combined 284 points and two 50-point scorers in the previous two games.

The Thunder, the league’s lowest-scoring team who were without their top-three scorers, shot 32.6% (30 of 92) and didn’t have enough firepower to be the same offensive threats as the Brooklyn Nets or Detroit Pistons.

While the Magic experienced their own offensive struggles, Wendell Carter Jr.’s career-best performance lifted Orlando to a 90-85 win over the Thunder.
