No, he's not getting to the foul line. No, he's not distributing the ball well. No, he's not doing much of anything else besides score.

And no, it doesn't matter a bit. He's getting buckets and the Magic are getting wins. Not a coincidence, that.

Jameer is playing awesomely.

He’s been the antidote to third quarter collapses.
