I just finished listening to this one and all I can say is: wow.
Orlando swept a four-game trip out West that featured wins at the three division leaders for the Western Conference. That includes the team's first win in Denver in five years and the completion of season sweeps of San Antonio and Los Angeles (Lakers) for the first time in franchise history.
This game was all about Jameer Nelson.
He was once again the facilitator and generator of offense. Nelson had 23 points and five assists. More importantly it was against his nemesis Chauncey Billups. Billups was held scoreless in the first half before he finished with 18 points.
The starters were on fire even coming off a back-to-back. The Magic had just two points off their bench.
Not ideal, but impressive.
This was a big road trip for Orlando and the team has to be feeling pretty good coming home. It does not get any easier with Boston coming to town Thursday. But this team looks up to the challenge after a gritty and seemingly easy trip out West.
