From the opening tip, this was the Orlando Magic’s game. One they desperately needed and needed to win big.
Nikola Vucevic tipped the ball into the backcourt to Mario Hezonja who flew in for a dunk just six seconds into the game. The magic’s offense was off and running to an 11-0 start and making the Philadelphia 76ers look every bit what the standings say they are — the worst team in the league.
The points would keep coming — 77 of them alone in the first half — and there was little resistance.
