Mo Wagner found himself backpedaling into the basket with 4:56 left in the second quarter. He had recently come off the bench and was assigned by Orlando Magic coach Jamahl Mosley to guard a percolating Karl-Anthony Towns, and the position he found himself in a that time ended up being a giant mistake.
Contrary to Towns’ typical tendencies in driving to the basket, he rose off his left foot, brought the ball back behind his head, and glided towards the basket with malicious intentions. What ensued was an expedited burial of the caught-off-guard Wagner.
