The Orlando Magic upped their defensive intensity too late Saturday. The one time they did and actually got a stop, the officials wrongly took it away. But it did happen and the Magic should have had a chance to tie the game.
Elfrid Payton was switched onto Dwyane Wade after Evan Fournier‘s strong defense went for naught. He pressured Wade down the floor and Wade needed a Hassan Whiteside screen to free himself up.
Payton’s pressure was the kind of change the Magic needed in that game.
