Ball movement bails out Orlando Magic to grind out Brooklyn Nets
The Orlando Magic had a fast start followed by an ugly finish. The offense and the ball movement kicked in just in time to topple the Brooklyn Nets.
The first quarter was spent easing past the Brooklyn Nets. The Orlando Magic moved the ball and got open shots. It looked like the team had found its flow.
The rest of the game? It was spent trying to find that flow again in a difficult grind of a game where shots just refused to fall — even the open ones.
Brooklyn had mucked the game up and pushed Orlando more than the team probably thought it would after it jumped to an early lead.
