It’s early in the second quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Boston Celtics. Minutes earlier, at the end of the first quarter, Andrew Nicholson missed a three point shot, and he missed badly. The ball caromed off of the backboard without even so much as sniffing the rim.
Now, less than two minutes into the second quarter, he found himself with the ball 25 feet out again, and he didn’t flinch. Nicholson drained the shot to give the Magic a one-point lead. About a minute later he did the same thing from the same spot.
