CLEVELAND – Not long after the Orlando Magic’s stirring defeat of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night, forward Arron Afflalo met the squad in the locker room to offer his congratulations and also an apology for the altercation that knocked him out of the game.
Later, when Afflalo made it to his Orlando apartment and flipped on the nightly highlight shows, he said seeing himself lose his cool and swing wildly at another NBA player compared to experiencing some sort of out-of-body experience.
Then again, the fire that spewed out of the 32-year-old Afflalo spoke to his roots as a native of Compton, Calif.
