During a recent three-game stretch, Orlando Magic shooting guard Terrence Ross took a combined 18 shots. Earlier in the season, he would’ve accumulated that many in one game.
“Teams are super locked into him right now and he’s been getting so much more attention than he even has in the past,” Clifford said of Ross. “I’ve got to find additional ways to get him the ball.”
Ross reached double figures in scoring — including four 20-point efforts — in each of the first seven games. He was averaging 20.7 points on 49.5% shooting that included a 46.
