From the start of the game he was able to figure out a way to create space and get into the paint, twisting the Magic’s defense out of whack. The team’s mess of arms and length could slow him down, but they could not stop him.

Orlando had the lead with two minutes to play. The team was able to force fouls off deflections and steals. The Magic, despite Young’s outbursts, was working exactly as intended. Orlando could put pressure on teams even without a strong shooting performance.
