Victor Oladipo is going to create a catalog of his own game winners pretty soon, giving the Magic several weapons late in games. That bodes somewhat well, right?

As far as emotions, there is probably no bigger win for the Magic in the past two years than defeating the Miami Heat on Dec. 29, 2014. The Heat had buried the Magic so many times since LeBron James arrived and Dwight Howard left, it was clear how much finally beating that team meant to this young crew.

Oladipo had a hand in that win. But, of course, the finish was not great as Oladipo had to go to the foul line to ice the game.

Second on that list had to be the finish against the Bulls, exorcising some demons from a collapse earlier in the season.

Oladipo’s performance in that game was solid — 23 points, 8-for-14 shooting and five assists — as the Magic picked up their last win of the season.

His finish for the game winner was spectacular though. He drove in on Jimmy Butler with his weak hand and finished easily at the rim. He provided a nice highlight and a cap to what was a great run for him toward the end of the season.

Plays like this are why many think Oladipo is about ready to take the next step up in his career.
