The Evan Fournier injury has indeed thrown the Orlando Magic for a bit of a loop. As noted earlier, the Magic’s offense is not very good with or without Fournier.

In the few games since Fournier went out again, the Magic have had to watch for lapses of focus. When they rely too much on one-on-one basketball and let go of the rope defensively, the team can get embarrassed — Golden State Warriors or not.

The Magic are hoping to get a bit more from Mario Hezonja. But relying on him and C.J. Watson is not a good long-term solution.
