Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz shows maturity in bouncing back from late-game error

Around midnight Friday night, Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz posted a message on his Instagram story. On a black background in white type, Markelle Fultz posted, “There is no such thing as failure, only learning experiences.”

About an hour earlier, Fultz made the biggest error of his professional career so far. With the Orlando Magic clinging to a one-point lead against the Phoenix Suns, Markelle Fultz got the edge on Ricky Rubio and went to the basket. But he had a moment of indecision. He had gotten himself too deep and tried to sling the ball back out to Evan Fournier at the 3-point line.
