Beede’s Breakdown: Game 5’s rough 3rd quarter in Boston ends Magic season • Shining for Magic, Paolo Banchero takes positives from playoff experience
Sentinel Sports Final Wednesday, April 30, 2025 | | |
| | | | Magic season concludes with Game 5 loss in Boston | If end is near, Lightning will leave trail of questions | Rays’ 5-game win streak halted by home loss to Royals | | | | This needs to be the last time Orlando Magic fans can walk away from a first-round exit feeling somewhat satisfied. | | | | | As has been the case much of the season for the Magic, the third quarter was the difference Tuesday when Boston ended Orlando's campaign in a Game 5 playoff loss. | | | | | Magic forward Paolo Banchero has shown growth on the court throughout the first round of the NBA playoffs against the Celtics. "When I train in the offseason and when I'm getting ready for the season, I have this time of the year in my mind," he said in Boston. | | | | | "What next?" is typical for the Miami Heat at this time of the year, in the wake of postseason elimination. What isn't typical is how many players the question pertains to. | | | | | Bishop Moore, The First Academy Orangewood Christian and Mount Dora Christian Academy had big playoff baseball wins. Winter Springs, The Geneva School, Montverde Academy, Lake Howell, East Ridge, Cypress Creek and St. Cloud had softball wins. | | | | | Tampa Bay Lightning blow a late lead in Game 4 to sabotage its chances of a comeback against Florida Panthers. | | | | | The Rays have dropped six of their last seven at Steinbrenner Field. | | | | | Rick Workman, the founder of Heartland Dental, and John Morgan, of Morgan & Morgan, are among the investors in the Orlando Dreamers bid to bring MLB to Orlando. | | | | | O'Neal will take the voluntary job for the program that his son, Shaqir, recently joined as a player. | | | | | It'd be a nice bonus if the Dolphins get a Year One contribution from any of their late-round picks. But you'd be a fool if you expect that. | | | |
