In the days leading up to their game Wednesday night, the Orlando Magic worried about correcting their pattern of lethargic third-quarter starts.
But once tipoff arrived, it was their entire first half that plagued them — a first half as sluggish as any of their previous third quarters.
It prompted a radical change.
A lineup shakeup by coach Scott Skiles to begin the third quarter sparked an energetic Magic rally, and a pair of crucial 3-pointers by Evan Fournier propelled the Magic to a 104-101 overtime win over the Minnesota Timberwolves at Amway Center.
