Dwyane Wade’s individual brilliance enough to topple individualistic Orlando Magic

Evan Fournier was draped on Dwyane Wade as the came down to its final moments. This was the same play NBA fans have seen for years with hose same tell-tale options.

Wade could drive it, tapping into that reserve of youthful speed. He could pull up for the jumper. He could step back and fade away. He could slither his way into the lane with the help of a pick and roll.

Each option remains as dangerous in a close game as the next.

When those offensive efficiencies go down and hero ball takes over late in games, this is when even an aging, constantly fighting-against-injury Wade can still produce some magic.
