Paolo Banchero nearly upstaged Giannis Antetokounmpo in the fourth quarter of the Bucks-Magic game

The Orlando Magic got a massive boost an hour before the game when Paolo Banchero received the green light to play. Banchero, who hasn't played since Oct. 30 due to an oblique injury, provided the injury-hampered magic a big lift.

The fourth quarter became a seesaw battle between Banchero and Giannis Antetokounmpo. With the game on the line, the two stars impacted their teams on both ends of the floor. They guarded each other down the stretch to the delight of fans.

Banchero 15 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter to nearly upstage Antetokounmpo. The Magic forward, however, missed a free throw with 10.1 seconds remaining off a foul from the Greek Freak. The game would have been tied at 106 apiece had Banchero sunk the crucial shot.
