Magic forward Paolo Banchero on avoiding overconfidence:  “Just that, you know, we can't overreact to one win. You know, game one, you know, it's a long series, and as we all know how the media is, you know, they'll jump back on board.  And so just reminding guys, like, don't buy into that,” he added. “You know, stay locked in on the mission and don't overreact to one game. You know, we got to come out and do it again.”
