Magic guard Markelle Fultz focused on being more assertive on offense

Orlando Magic point guard Markelle Fultz picked up speed and crossed halfcourt as four Atlanta defenders formed a wall near the free-throw line.

The trio of Bogdan Bogdanovic, Solomon Hill and Trae Young backpedaled to shut off any driving lanes as Fultz dribbled at them.

As Fultz worked a crossover dribble that put the ball in his left hand, Young peeled off slightly to his left. The move created an opening Fultz immediately saw. He dribbled the ball once more and kept it low in his hands to maneuver past Hill. As Fultz moved closer to the basket, 6-foot-10 Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari slid over to close off a passing lane between Fultz and teammate Aaron Gordon.
