Aaron Gordon made a mistake. And he knew it. A play later, Evan Fournier made a mistake. And he knew it.
Both came at a critical moment. The game hung in the balance and the team made errors.
This was a repeat of the Orlando Magic’s problems before and the thing that many believe could keep them out of the Playoffs. If they do not overcome these errors, their season will end in disappointment now that they have raised their expectations.
The Magic are not the best team late in games and have had their share of late-game foibles.
