Overtime win over Timberwolves helps Orlando Magic win 2nd straight game : Magic win 112-103

The Orlando Magic started off the season 0-4. There were some people who thought this team were going to finish 0-82. I feel that the Orlando Magic team is competitive. I was at the game last night. It was a great game. The game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Orlando Magic went into overtime last night. The Orlando Magic win their 2nd straight game by beating the T-Wolves 112-103. Here are the stats for each team in this game.

Orlando Magic Thoughts

1. It was nice to see some great production from rookies 2014 NBA Draft 4th pick power forward Aaron Gordon and 10th pick point guard Elfrid Payton.   I feel Payton could win rookie of the year, and Aaron Gordon could at this time be a good sixth man for us
2. Orlando out rebounded the Timberwolves 52-38.  Cleaning up the glass more than your opponents can help you win ball games
3. Tobias Harris played great last night after hitting a clutch game winner against the Philadelphia 76ers.  Do you feel that Tobias Harris deserves an extension?  I do.  
4. Evan Fournier is filling in nicely for the injured Victor Oladipo.  
5. Maurice Harkless added 11 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and 4 of 5 shooting from the field in 20 minutes and 42 seconds of playing time. I'm glad that Mo Harkless is getting some playing time.
6. Coach Jacque Vaughn last night seemed to take his timeouts at the right time last night.  
7. This team has a bright future and is competitive.  This team is a rising team within 1-2 seasons.  If we can play like we've played the last two games, this team sneak into the 8th seed and maybe even 7 in the Eastern Conference.

Minnesota Timberwolves Thoughts

1. I'm not going to lie, I didn't come to just the Orlando Magic play in this game, but to watch the passing of point guard Ricky Rubio. 
2. Ricky Rubio scored 4 points, 6 assists in 13 minutes and 15 seconds of action.
3. Ricky Rubio had to leave the game late in the first half due to spraining his left ankle. I have no idea how long he will be out
4. Timberwolves never lead by more than 8 in this game
5. Haven't won in Orlando since 2008
6. Rookie Andrew Wiggins only scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block on 3 of 6 shooting in over 25 minutes of action

In spite that Orlando Magic turned the ball over 21 to Minnesota's 12 times, the Magic found a way to win this game.  Congratulations on a great win from the Orlando Magic to improve to 2-4.
