Without their leading scorer and with the game being rescheduled because of Tropical Storm Nicole, the Orlando Magic picked up their third win of the season Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
The victory came in a concerted team effort: the Magic had five players score in double-figures while limiting Mavericks’ star Luka Doncic to below 30 points for the first time this season (24 points on 9/29 shooting).
And while the Magic were outstanding in the second half (Dallas scored just 31 points on 30.8% shooting from the field), it was a three minute stretch in the second quarter that exhibited some great X’s and O’s and tremendous team defense.
