WATCH: Victor Oladipo, Jason Smith threw a block party vs. the Wolves
Two young teams on the rise met in Orlando on Wednesday night, and the Magic emerged victorious over the Minnesota Timberwolves thanks to some spectacular defensive plays from Victor Oladipo and Jason Smith (and a game winner from Evan Fournier, too).
Oladipo had a rough night offensively, finishing with just 1 point on 0-for-6 shooting in his first game back from a concussion. But when it looked like the Wolves had an easy dunk in transition, Oladipo was there to erase the scoring opportunity with a big chase-down block:

Smith, meanwhile, preferred to do his rejecting face-to-face. He's just direct like that:

The Magic are off until Saturday, when they'll host the Sacramento Kings and DeMarcus Cousins.
