Orlando Magic trapping defense not enough against Indiana Pacers
The Orlando Magic forced a team-record 17 turnovers in the first half and seemed to have their defense rolling. But the all-or-nothing trap could not create a win.
The Orlando Magic learned from their first two meetings with the Indiana Pacers this season. Unfortunately, those lessons were not enough to goad the Magic to a victory as the Pacers walked out of the Amway Center 105-102 victors.
The Indiana Pacers are a team that can crush opponents behind the arc and in the pick and roll, but the Magic countered it well, extending the defense, going over pick and rolls and pushing the Pacers hard in the half court.
