making three’s over the out stretched arm of Aleksej Pokusevski must be very hard. I can’t make wide open ones. – 8:12 PM
Orlando Magic PR @Magic_PR
The @Orlando Magic have now made at least one three-point field goal in 1,203 consecutive games, dating all the way back to March 17, 2007.
It stands as the fifth-longest active streak in the #NBA and also the fifth-longest streak in @NBAHistory.

Incredible tanking possibilities tonight: Orlando (20-53) at Oklahoma City (20-52). Loser moves into position for the third and final spot atop the lottery odds (behind Houston and Detroit): 14% chance at the No. 1 pick, 52.1% at a top-4 pick. – 4:52 PM

After facing the Orlando Magic in what resulted in a low-scoring, defensive battle just four days earlier the Thunder look to even the series tonight on home turf.
