Arena Ciudad de Mexico was packed with 20,201 fans on Thursday night. Most of them supported the Chicago Bulls, but the Orlando Magic got the “W”. They have Nikola Vucevic to thank for it.
The 28-year-old Montenegrin scored 26 points and grabbed ten boards in 33 minutes. He sank a 15-foot jumper to put his team ahead with 28 second to go. DJ Augustin later on poured four free throws to secure the win.
Vucevic and the Magic have one more game at Mexico City. On Sunday they will face the Utah Jazz and hope they gained a chuck of Mexican fans with their impressive win on Thursday.
