Michael Carter-Williams left his first game in an Orlando Magic uniform in a huff.
He and Atlanta Hawks rookie Trae Young were exchanging words back and forth before the officials finally stepped in. Michael Carter-Williams took the technical — a fine that will hit his pocketbook a lot harder than any other player on the team. But the spark was already lit well before then. And at least partially on Carter-Williams’ back.
In one fourth-quarter sequence, Carter-Williams dove on the floor to dig out a rebound. It led to a Hawks foul and the Magic’s possession.
