The Orlando Magic set a new franchise record with 27 made 3-pointers in their 131-94 blowout victory over the struggling Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 30 points, including 5-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc. The loss extended the Kings' franchise-worst losing streak to 15 games, as they continue to languish at the bottom of the NBA standings with a 12-45 record.

Why it matters

The Magic's offensive explosion and the Kings' extended losing streak highlight the stark contrast between the two teams' fortunes this season. While Orlando continues to fight for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, Sacramento's struggles have raised questions about the team's ability to turn things around, especially with star players Domantas Sabonis and Zach LaVine sidelined due to season-ending injuries.

The Magic's 27 made 3-pointers set a new franchise record, and they did it on 50 attempts. Banchero led the way with 5 made 3-pointers, while the team as a whole shot an impressive 54% from beyond the arc. The Kings, on the other hand, continued their downward spiral, extending their franchise-worst losing streak to 15 games. Despite the absences of Sabonis and LaVine, the Kings have struggled to find any consistency or success on the court.
