WASHINGTON: German forward Franz Wagner’s 31-point performance sparked Orlando to an eighth consecutive victory on Wednesday, ripping Washington 139-120 to move one game behind NBA overall leader Boston.

The Magic connected on 60.7 percent of their shots in improving to 13-5 and matching Milwaukee for second in the Eastern Conference behind the Celtics (14-4). “We believe we can win every day and we want to play up to our standards,” Wagner said after achieving back-to-back 30-point games for the first time in his NBA career. “It’s a lot of fun.

We would like to keep that going.” Orlando can match the club’s record win streak by beating the Wizards again on Friday. “It would be awesome,” Wagner said. “But we’ve still got one to go so we’ve got to lock in on that.” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley agreed, saying: “I’m a ‘one game at a time’ guy.

We’ll enjoy this one but we’ve got to get to work tomorrow.” Cole Anthony came off the bench to add 25 points and Jalen Suggs scored a season-high 22 points for Orlando.

I'm a Rangers loving darts star and had plan to give Prince William an Ibrox gift when Fallon Sherrock received her MBE

A darts player who loves Rangers wanted to gift the future king a club keyring – and asked his partner to hand it to him when she was getting an MBE. Cameron Menzies came up with the cheeky plan as his girlfriend Fallon Sherrock prepared to collect her gong from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle last month. Fallon was being honoured for her services to darts. She made history by becoming the first female to win a match at the PDC World Darts Championship in 2019. Cameron said: “I was given a Rangers keyring and it’s in the house. I wanted Fallon to give it to Prince William. I’m sure he doesn’t care about Rangers, as he’s an Aston Villa fan, but if I had gone to Windsor Castle with her to get the MBE, I would definitely have worn a Rangers top and kilt.”
