The Orlando Magic secured their third straight victory Friday night, defeating the Brooklyn Nets 105–98 in their second NBA Cup matchup of the season. Franz Wagner and head coach Jamahl Mosley both highlighted the play of second-year forward Tristan da Silva, whose aggressiveness and confidence stood out in the absence of All-Star forward Paolo Banchero .

Wagner led the way for Orlando with 25 points, six rebounds, and five assists while shooting 7-for-17 from the field and 8-for-10 from the free-throw line across 37 minutes. Da Silva, starting in place of Banchero, delivered his strongest performance of the season with 22 points, nine rebounds, and an assist, connecting on five of his nine 3-point attempts and finishing with a +15 plus/minus in 32 minutes.
