Tonight the Orlando Magic lost Game-7 to Cleveland, being eliminated in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Part of the blame surely lies with Franz Wagner, primarily responsible for the defeat given the lone performance 6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, with 1/15 shooting. The German, who had shown a lot of coolness under pressure at the last World Cup he won with his national team, completely jammed against the Cavaliers.
His performance is one of the worst ever in a Race-7, but his shooting percentage is just the worst. The 6.7% with which Wagner ended tonight’s game is the worst figure in NBA history in a Game-7, for players who have shot at least 15 times.
Before Gaza-7, Franz Wagner was averaging 21 points in the series against Cleveland: in Gaza-6, only two days ago, he had scored 26 points to extend the series to the “bella.”
