For Wendell Carter Jr., the Orlando Magic’s 2022-23 season further showcased the developmental breakout the 24-year-old big man took the previous season.In 2021-22, Carter set several career highs, including scoring, rebounding, assists and shooting efficiency.He one-upped himself this past season, setting new career highs in points (15.2), 2-point (62.4%) and 3-point accuracy (35.6%), 3-point attempts (3.9) and effective field goal percentage (59.1%) — a formula that adjusts for 3-pointers being worth more than made 2-pointers.Carter was a foundation of Orlando’s defense, which allowed 111.4 points per 100 possessions with Carter on the floor — a top-six mark compared to the rest of the league. The Magic allowed 113.9 points per 100 possessions with Carter on the bench — a solid mark that’s closer to average.Although he wasn’t as prolific as last season, Carter was the Magic’s best rim protector while adjusting to playing as the lone ...Bruins down Panthers, 6-2, to take control of series

The biggest game of the year, the biggest quarter of the year and Julius Randle was parked at the very end of the bench.Randle, the only Knicks All-Star, was a disaster in the third quarter of Sunday afternoon’s 102-93 Knicks victory over the Cavaliers. His defense was lethargic and Cleveland took advantage, targeting the power forward in pick-and-rolls with great success.The struggles spilled into poor body language, with Randle disengaging himself from a timeout huddle in the third quarter while floating to the scorer’s table. Coach Tom Thibodeau, who typically has a long rope for Randle’s antics, benched the power forward and watched the Knicks cook the Cavaliers in the fourth quarter behind Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett.Randle did not speak after the game, leaving before the media was allowed inside the locker room.He finished with just seven points in 27 minutes, missing 7 of his 10 shots.
