ORLANDO – A simple mathematic formula brought tremendous promise to the Orlando Magic on Thursday night and led to head coach Frank Vogel having a huge smile splashed across his face.
``Nineteen points per game plus 19 points per game feels pretty good,’’ Vogel said excitedly, referring to the returns of leading scorers Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier.
At long last, the injury-ravaged Magic looked close to whole once again with the returns of Gordon and Fournier and they rode some clutch shooting from veteran forward Marreese Speights in the second half for a 102-89 defeat of the Detroit Pistons at the Amway Center.
