The Magic put together a brilliant offensive stretch Wednesday night, scoring a franchise-record 50 points in the first quarter of their game against the Atlanta Hawks (one point shy of the all-time first quarter record set by Golden State in 2019).
The team shot 64% from the field, 60% from three, 92% from the free throw and it all started with their defense.
On the opening Hawks’ possession, Atlanta ran a staple of their playbook: a high screen-and-roll with Trae Young and Clint Capela. But watch how hard Moe Wagner hedges following the pick and how it results in a turnover for Young.
