Best Game of 2018

Jan. 6 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: 12 points, 6/7 FGs, 5 rebounds

In the midst of a historically bad stretch, the Orlando Magic found some life against the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers. Much of the life can be attributed to Iwundu.

Although the Magic were unable to seal the deal against James and company, they battled until the final whistle, falling 131-127.

The season was pretty much over by early January, but Iwundu felt his first major NBA look was about to begin.

He answered with 12 points, five rebounds and a trio of assists off the bench. His strong stat line was capped off with a pair of steals with one finishing with a beautiful alley-oop to Aaron Gordon.

Iwundu only had a handful of games where he scored double-digits, but to put together a well-rounded effort put the cherry on top for him.
