Banchero had 31 points and seven rebounds on a non-so-efficient 37.5% shooting on the floor. Wagner, on the other hand, had 24 points, six rebounds and seven assists. Like his co-star, the German sensation struggled to make shots, especially from beyond the arc.

Wagner isn't a star yet. But his 32-point, seven-rebound, eight-assist performance in Game 3 shows he's close.

Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are expected to combine for at least 55 points in every game played by the Orlando Magic — and they have rarely disappointed. The problem in their first-round playoff series against Boston is that 55 or 60 points have not been enough.
