LAS VEGAS – Like a speedy wide receiver behind the defense, Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba threw his hand in the air to signal that he was open, snagged a pass out of the air and shook the basket stanchion with a thunderous dunk.
It wouldn’t be the last time that things were shaking inside Cox Pavilion on the campus of UNLV on Friday night.
Playing his first game in more than five months after seeing his rookie season in the NBA end prematurely because of a leg injury, Bamba scored 15 points and drilled two 3-pointers in less than 15 minutes of work.
