Orlando Magic and Miami Heat

I just got finished watching the Orlando Magic defeat the Miami Heat 122-99. Despite the lop-sided score, it was actually an entertaining game, particularly with Orlando draining 17 three pointers and Dwayne Wade scoring a career high 50 points. Now, I'm not normally one to report on sports, but I wanted to comment on a mistake by the announcers. Hubie Brown and Dave Pasch were calling the game, and at one point they made a statement about Orlando General Manager Otis Smith. At this point, they cut to a shot of "Otis", as they referred to him. However, unless I am mistaken, the camera was in fact on Nick Anderson, who works for the Magic's public relations. I looked at several pictures of each online and I will admit that they do look very similar, and they are both former Magic players, as the announcers mentioned. But there is enough distinction between the two that I was sure I was looking at Nick Anderson, not Otis Smith. I couldn't find any news regarding this mistake, so perhaps I am the first to report on it. I just wanted to give Anderson his proper mention.
