There are several basic tenets to coach Steve Clifford’s vision for this Orlando Magic team.
When he says the things the team has to do to win basketball games he is referring to these basic principles. Moving and sharing the ball on offense. Getting paint touches and drives into the lane to collapse the defense. Individual defense with precise positioning and help behind them. Contesting and chasing players off the 3-point shot.
But most importantly for the defense, the team has to rebound. Securing boards and holding opponents to one shot has been the central tenet to the Magic’s defensive success.
