The Orlando Magic finally broke their Sunshine State curse, defeating the Miami Heat 105-87 on Sunday night thanks to a double-double performance from Paolo Banchero and the welcome return of Franz Wagner.

Banchero, the rookie phenom, led the charge with 20 points and 10 rebounds, shooting efficiently from the field (7-of-14) and beyond the arc (3-of-5). His scoring prowess helped Orlando snap their two-game losing streak against the Heat, claiming their first victory over their in-state rivals this season.

Wagner, back in action after missing eight games with a right ankle sprain, seamlessly slotted back into the Magic's offense, contributing 19 points and five assists. His presence provided much-needed offensive firepower and helped stabilize the Magic's play.

The victory was a complete team effort, with five Orlando starters finishing in double figures. Wendell Carter Jr. added 15 points and 12 rebounds, while Markelle Fultz and Gary Trent Jr. chipped in 13 and 12 points, respectively.

Miami, on the other hand, struggled to find their rhythm throughout the night. Jimmy Butler led the Heat with 21 points, but their shooting was lackluster, connecting on just 36.2% of their attempts from the field. Bam Adebayo added 16 points and 11 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Magic's balanced attack.

This win marks a significant step forward for the young Magic, proving they can compete with the best in the East. With Banchero and Wagner leading the charge, the future looks bright for Orlando, as they aim to climb the Eastern Conference standings and establish themselves as a playoff contender.
