Orlando Magic trying to return some versatility as big lineup shows weakness

Orlando Magic coach Steve Clifford was not happy following the team’s 114-112 win over the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings went small fairly early and started to pull the team apart. The team’s overall defensive coverages broke down as the game went on. And nobody seemed able to find Nemanja Bjelica on the perimeter as he hit eight 3-pointers.

There were numerous problems throughout the game tracking shooters. The lack of mobility on the wing made things worse. Nikola Vucevic looked extremely slow as he tried to close out on Nemanja Bjelica only to watch him move right by him.
