WATCH: Magic's Nikola Vucevic beats the buzzer and the Lakers
It's not easy to shoot a jumper with Roy Hibbert's huge hand in your face. It's also not easy to make a shot with the game on the line. So on Wednesday, when Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic hit a jumper with Hibbert's hand in his face with the game on the line, it was rather remarkable.

Vucevic, who had missed the Magic's previous three games with a bone bruise in his knee, came off the bench against the Los Angeles Lakers. That obviously did not stop him from making his presence felt, and it wasn't just that moment. In 26 minutes, he had 18 points on 9-for-16 shooting, plus five rebounds.
The 101-99 win means Orlando is 4-5 on the season. The Lakers, on the other hand, are down to 1-7. Yikes.
