Shorthanded Orlando Magic Unable to Defend Miami Heat

The Orlando Magic are simply not a good enough team to weather the loss of one or more key players. The subtractions of Victor Oladipo and Aaron Gordon in this case ended up spelling a lot of trouble for the Magic.

Victor Oladipo missed this game due to a concussion he sustained in Orlando’s win on Friday night. Gordon sat for the same reason. Concussions are nothing to play with.

Not having two of the team’s top defenders is a recipe for trouble.

It basically pitted Evan Fournier in a death match with Dwyane Wade, which is not a proposition most Magic fans would take.
