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.
“We came in at halftime and said, ‘We had 17 turnovers at halftime,'” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said of his team’s sloppy offense.
