Orlando Magic power forward Paolo Banchero says that he felt a different level of intensity/focus during Sunday’s 106-94 Eastern Conference First Round Game 7 road playoff loss vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers (38 points/16 rebounds/2 assists/3 steals/1 block/10-28 FG/3-6 3-PT/15-18 FT).

(via Orlando Magic):

“It’s extremely different, I would say the intensity, the atmosphere. That was probably the most intense game that I played in, in terms of how intense I was. I almost don’t remember some of the game, just because how lost in the game I was and how focused I was throughout that game. But yeah, I definitely wanna get back to that. Just getting a taste of the playoffs and a full seven game series, it makes you want more.”
