The Story:
On a second night of a back to back the Miami Heat traveled north and defeated their instate rival, the Orlando Magic. The Heat handled the Magic 120-92 lead by LeBron James' 21 points 6 rebounds and 7 assist. James was coming off his least spectacular game the night before, and as this blogger pointed out, was not going to have a second consecutive off night. The Heat were without the services of starting shooting guard Dwyane Wade once again so they needed production from their supporting players. On this night James Jones stepped up and filled in for Wade not only in the starting line-up but in the scoring department as well. Jones tallied 17 points making 5 of his 7 three pointers attempted. The Miami Heat the past two games have shown how deep their player rotation is, a scary thought for the rest of the NBA. Although it came in a losing effort Magic rookie Victor Oladipo had a strong first showing against the two time defending world champions tallying 20 points with 4 rebounds and 5 steals.
Play of the Game:
Today is a special day for the reader as we bring you not one but two plays of the day. LeBron put on a clinic early in the first half of last nights game so we felt obligated to show you these two spectacular plays.
