As Monday's tipoff approached, Frank Vogel worried that he made a mistake by giving the Orlando Magic both Christmas Eve and Christmas off. Vogel rarely gives his teams two consecutive days off during the season, and he was concerned his players would be rusty or sluggish against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
Nothing could have been more inaccurate.
The Magic played one of their best games of the season and clobbered the Grizzlies 112-102 at Amway Center.
Aaron Gordon scored 20 of his game-high 30 points in the second half.
