We may be a long way from the 'pace, space and the pass' of the early days of Jamahl Mosley's tenure, but while the team is not a break-neck fast-breaking team, they are looking to use their speed to control the tempo of the game. And if he gets an interception, he is gone for a beeline to the basket. He especially will look to take the ball off the dribble and push at every opportunity. Give him a seam or jog back on defense and Jalen Suggs will suddenly be shooting through the lane, getting to the rim before the defense can know what hits it. The Magic can become a team with blinding speed. Still, in a flash, that whole attitude can change.
The more it limits whatever miscues the team's offense might have. The more things slow down, the more the team can set its defense and make it hard to score against them. On one hand, the Orlando Magic are a team that looks to control the game's tempo.
It happens so quickly, you barely even recognize that a hole has opened up.
