In a thrilling matchup on March 5, the Orlando Magic edged past the Dallas Mavericks 138-127 at the American Airlines Center. Wendell Carter Jr. led the Magic with 28 points, while Desmond Bane contributed 27 points. The standout performance came from Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg, a graduate of Montverde Academy, who scored a game-high 51 points, making him the first teenager in NBA history to achieve such a feat. Dallas coach Jason Kidd was ejected early in the fourth quarter after arguing with officials. This win was significant for the Magic, as it marked their first victory in Dallas since January 8, 2011, and they swept the Mavericks in the regular season for the first time since the 1997-98 season. The Magic's free-throw shooting was impressive, making 30 of 37 attempts, compared to Dallas's 25 of 31. Orlando, now with a record of 41-36, looks to continue their momentum in their upcoming games against the New Orleans Pelicans and Detroit Pistons.
