The Magic had reached the Finals with Rafer Alston firmly entrenched as the No. 1 point guard and with veteran Anthony Johnson as the backup.
Jameer Nelson’s return was supposed to boost the Orlando offense. It did not.
Nelson was not a scoring threat in this series, and he struggled to get back into a rhythm.
On Sunday night, one fan held up a sign that read, “LET A.J. PLAY!” It was a reference to Johnson.
That is how divisive the issue had become.
