Orlando Magic’s top 10 games of the season
By Alex Horvath
#10: vs. Boston Celtics (Jan. 31)
After being embarrassed the previous game on the road against the Celtics, the Magic stole the show in this one. After being down by as many as 16 points, the Magic rallied back.
Aaron Gordon provided one of the best putback dunks this season, bringing the ball from his hip up to extend forward and into the basket with authority as the Magic closed out the horrible month of January with a win.
#9: @ Atlanta Hawks (Feb. 8th)
This was the best game against the Hawks this season, an overtime thriller.
The Magic were the ones to come from behind for once, instead of falling apart at the end. The Magic were able to come back from 20 down, with Evan Fournier leading the way and Mario Hezonja providing some big time buckets.
#8: vs. Golden State Warriors (Feb. 25)
This game was exciting, for both the Magic and Warriors.
The Magic were able to keep up with the greatest regular season team in NBA history for three full quarters, which counts for something right? On the other hand, Warriors fans were able to witness Stephen Curry explode for 51 points on the road.
Let’s be real Magic fans, the score could have been much, much worse.
Orlando seemed absolutely useless on the defensive end fighting off screens, so we should all be thankful that we got a relatively close game, and some Aaron Gordon highlights.
