Magic 97, Timberwolves 96: Cole Anthony drops bomb at the buzzer to steal the W

The 2,500th game in franchise history presented the Orlando Magic with a chance to right the ship. Facing one of the league’s worst teams by record (and most advanced metrics, to be fair) and buoyed by the return of Evan Fournier to the lineup, there was some confidence coming into this contest that they would be able to arrest the six-game losing slide that had engulfed the team. For much of the night, however, it appeared that this would not be the case, with poor shooting, an inattention to detail, and yet another three-point disadvantage conspiring to put the Magic in a hole.
