In the final seconds of the Orlando Magic’s 97-91 win over the Chicago Bulls, Jonathan Isaac was in the game to finish and not rising star forward Aaron Gordon. This was no indictment of Aaron Gordon. He had a strong defensive game despite a 2-for-11 shooting performance to go with seven assists.
At the end of the game, coach Steve Clifford seemed to be trying to find the hot hand on both ends. Isaac was in at the right time and his length and athleticism proved a much bigger deterrent against Lauri Markkanen.
