The Orlando Magic trailed the Miami Heat early in their opening game last week. The starting lineup of D.J. Augustin, Evan Fournier, Jonathan Isaac, Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic found themselves in a bit of a hole as they got swept up in the anticipation for the season.
When Steve Clifford made his first substitutions — bringing in Terrence Ross and Mohamed Bamba for Aaron Gordon and Jonathan Isaac — the Magic were already down seven points midway through the first quarter.
