Orlando Magic cannot rely on their offense as they search for their defensive backbone

The moments that fans remember from games are the ones at the end.

Nikola Vucevic had been solid offensively throughout the entire game, stepping out to the perimeter where Andre Drummond did not want to go and torching him throughout the game. Turning to the Orlando Magic’s best player down the stretch and in overtime was the absolute right decision.

And so when Nikola Vucevic sprung open on several occasions in overtime, Orlando made the correct read and fed him the ball. He missed. And the team will have to live with that, even as fans likely put ire on him for those critical misses late in the game.
