The Orlando Magic -- one of the NBA's top teams, if you'll recall -- are the only squad in the Association with three players in ranked in the top-20 in Player Efficiency Rating (min. 30 minutes).

Whether Aaron Gordon, Nikola Vucevic, or Evan Fournier can keep it up -- or whether Orlando can stay relevant -- is up for debate. But for the time being, it's fun to watch the Magic do stuff like this.
