The Orlando Magic gave up 51 points to the Los Angeles Lakers’ starting backcourt and 68 points to the Golden State Warriors’ starting tandem. That is an average of nearly 60 points per game coming from an oppositions’ starting guards. Sure one of those duos was Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, but the point remains.
That level of production is not likely to give Orlando a chance in finding many wins.
Even with Victor Oladipo having a big night offensively he could not account for the double-team of offensive threats from both opposing teams. Oladipo usually does a decent job of man-to-man defense, but he has had his faults against both Klay Thompson and the Los Angeles Lakers’ Jordan Clarkson.
