Magic end 13-year drought, Banchero makes history

The last time the Magic won a home playoff gamePaolo Banchero was an eight-year-old kid falling in love with basketball. Exactly 13 years later, Banchero has guided Orlando back to prominence.

As the Magic ended their 13-year drought with a 121-83 win over the Cavs on Thursday, it was only fitting that Banchero broke several records himself.

First, he became the only player in history with a 30/10/5 playoff game in less than 30 minutes (he sat out the entire fourth of the blowout win).

Second, Banchero, 21, became the third-youngest player in history with that specific stat line, behind only Magic Johnson and LeBron James.
