The target was Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr.
The gun was his girlfriend.
When the Magic big man took the court during Detroit’s stunning 116-94 win, a deafening chant of “AN-GEL RE-ESE” rained down from the rafters.

Detroit moves on. And Carter Jr. has a long flight back to Orlando and has a lot to explain.
