Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- — Franz Wagner scored 25 points, Tristan da Silva added 22 points and nine rebounds and the Orlando Magic held Brooklyn scoreless over the final two-and-a-half minutes for a 105-98 victory over the Nets on Friday night.
The win was Orlando's second in NBA Cup Group play and dropped Brooklyn to 0-2.
Michael Porter Jr . had 24 points and 11 rebounds for the Nets, who led 98-94 after a basket by Nic Claxton with 2:37 remaining. But, Wagner hit two 3-pointers, da Silva made one and Brooklyn never scored again.
Desmond Bane scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter for Orlando and Jalen Suggs finished with 14 points, seven rebounds and six assists.
Ziaire Williams had 15 points and a steal late in the fourth quarter — off Orlando's 19th turnover — that put the Nets up 96-92. Noah Clowney had 12 points before fouling out with 1:58 remaining.
Da Silva got his first start of the season in place of Paolo Banchero , who is out with a strained left groin.
The Nets had a 53-37 lead midway through the second quarter, helped by 3-pointers, 59% overall shooting and 10 Magic turnovers. Three-pointers by da Silva and Bane, and Goga Bitadze 's block of an attempted dunk by Terrance Mann, turned the game around quickly.
