Postgame Notebook: Aaron Gordon’s return to form, and some odds and ends

With everyone in the Christmas spirit, one Orlando Magic player took it a step further, and went all out with his outfit on Monday night.

That player was Aaron Gordon, who surprised teammates with Nintendo Switches before the game, and then turned in a performance that was much needed. The Santa costume clearly was just what Gordon, and his teammates, needed.

Mired in a tough slump, Gordon came out and made an impact in multiple ways. He got after it on the defensive end, notching three blocks, including one monster chase down on Thaddeus Young, and showed off the tools that make him one of the best on-ball defenders the team has.
