The Cleveland Cavaliers could have wished for a better 16 game winning streak ender, but that’s just fate. Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic went all against the Cavs and ended them with a 108-103 victory.
While the Cavaliers fell short of their winning streak, it was Banchero who made the most out of the occasion while trashing backup guard Ty Jerome. A leaked audio recently surfaced on the internet of the altercation and got the fans talking.
It all started when the Cavaliers guard missed a floater, and Banchero was there to remind him of that. When the Magic star poked Jerome with a one-liner- “You ain’t like that,” he stood his ground and gave Banchero a deep stare while shifting court.
However, the trashy give and take immediately turned into a NSFW banter as both the parties carried on with their frustration.
Here’s the conversation between Banchero and Jerome that went viral:
Banchero: “You only look good because you’re on a good team, weak a** n****.”
Ty Jerome: “You can’t guard, I know that… You def can’t guard me.”

Banchero: “You ain’t sh*t, trash a** n****.”
Jerome: “I’ll start on y’all team,”
Despite the trash talk, Banchero definitely had the last laugh. The Magic star did much more than he talked about and put up 24 points, 17 rebounds, and seven assists in his 38 minutes of play. Though Jerome only had 12 points on the table during his 25 minutes of play.
