CLEVELAND – Like a boxer with a lethal knockout punch, a baseball team with an unhittable closer or a football team with a quarterback who is masterful in the two-minute drill, the Orlando Magic now have something of trump card late in games in guard Terrence Ross.
Orlando is tied for the most come-from-behind wins in the NBA when trailing after three periods with eight largely because of Ross’ ability to get scorching-hot late in games. The seven-year NBA veteran has become the Magic’s most unstoppable weapon of late by battering seemingly helpless foes with an array of high-arching 3-point shots and hard drives to the rim when they overplay his jumpers.
