In the previous NBA regular season, the Orlando Magic defeated the Charlotte Hornets at home 123-107. After this game, the Magic, which ended their embarrassing 4-game losing streak, improved their record to 2 wins and 4 losses; while the Hornets, who suffered two consecutive losses, saw their record drop to 2 wins and 3 losses.

In this game, the Magic's starting point guard Anthony Black performed quite well. Blake played for 30 minutes and 38 seconds, making 8 of 13 shots, 3 of 6 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 20 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. He also had 3 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-minus of +8. Black has shown comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He has good breakthrough and finishing abilities. He also has a certain ability to share the ball. He also scored a lot of points through various methods and provided a lot of support for the team. Blake's performance on the defensive end is even more impressive. He also displayed his talents on the defensive end and created huge pressure on his opponents. Blake's performance in this game can definitely be regarded as a top 3D backcourt. His outstanding performance on both offense and defense also made a huge contribution to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season last season, Black played a total of 78 times in 82 games, averaging 24.2 minutes per game. He averaged 9.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also had 1.8 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 42.3% from the field, 31.8% from the three-point range, and 76.1% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Black played a total of 5 times, averaging 17.7 minutes per game. He averaged 8.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 0.8 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 0.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 40.5% from the field, 15.4% from the three-point range, and 69.2% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Black has averaged 26.5 minutes per game in the first 6 games, averaging 13 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1 steal, and 0.8 blocks per game. He also has 2.8 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He has shot 50.9% from the field, 35% from three-point range, and 65.2% from free throws.

Blake's performance last season could only be regarded as so-so. He showed some progress, but his contribution on the offensive end was indeed low. He could have a certain effect on the defensive end, but because his ability on the offensive end could not reach a reliable level, this also affected his playing time and his position in the team. Blake's performance so far this season is indeed eye-catching. It seems that his abilities in all aspects have made considerable progress and improvement. He has made rapid progress on the offensive end, and he has also secured a starting position. Judging from Black's performance this season, it seems that he is really starting to realize his talents.
