Despite the 123-110 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Mo Bamba notched a career-high 32 points while knocking down seven threes, setting the record for most threes made in a game by a Magic center in franchise history. <\/p>\n

Bamba came out the gates scorching hot, exploding in the first half for 28 of his 32 points while simultaneously hitting a career-high seven threes in just 18 minutes played. The former 6th overall pick in the 2018 draft grabbed four rebounds and swatted away three shots while shooting 12-for-15 from the field in the game. <\/p>\n

Bamba, whose previous career-high was 22, shot 7-for-8 from deep before fouling out of the game midway through the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI credit it all to my teammates. They were able to find me in different situations \u2013 whether it was pindowns, or trail threes, just different types of action. They really just embraced it. They embraced me. Without them, I don\u2019t think I would have a career-high,\u201d Bamba said postgame.<\/p>\n

The Magic and Bamba will be back home in Orlando Friday night to face the Los Angeles Lakers. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
