CHARLOTTE – Things can change rather quickly in the NBA, as coaches and players are fond of pointing out on nearly a daily basis. With that thought in mind, the Orlando Magic and point guard Jerian Grant are certainly perfect examples of the topsy-turvy nature of life in the NBA.
Three days ago, the Magic were in one of their worst stretches of the season after having lost four consecutive games to drop five games under .500. However, Orlando responded to that adversity by soundly thumping the Toronto Raptors and edging the Detroit Pistons on another game-winning, buzzer-beating shot by Evan Fournier.
