Orlando Magic reflect on the emotions, memorialize Pulse tragedy

Related Topics: Orlando Magic

June 11, 2016 was like any other night in Orlando. People went about their lives, enjoying a summer Saturday night in their home town.

Evan Fournier recounted he was actually in town and out that night. Several other players on the Magic surely were too, celebrating another weekend in their city. Players were trickling in for pre-Draft workouts in Orlando too. Personally, I was at the Orlando Predators game that evening.

It was a normal Saturday. There was no reason to believe tragedy would occur. Is there ever?

Around 2 a.m. though, everything changed.
