On a night when the nation turns its attention to the presidential election, the eyes of some NBA fans turned their attention to the Windy City. The surprising 2-0 Orlando Magic traveled to Chicago to face the 2-1 Chicago Bulls, minus Derrick Rose.
Orlando, lacking a major star on the roster has relied heavily on team work and streaky shooting. Chicago, missing Derrick Rose until at least January, had relied on solid post play and veteran leadership.
With Jameer Nelson sitting out another game with a strained groin and sore hamstring, Orlando was looking to pick up its third win in this young season. Chicago was looking to forget a dreadful offensive effort against New Orleans on Saturday.
Despite 28 points, five assists and a strong effort from Arron Afflalo and a courageous effort from E’Twaun Moore, who added 17 points to go along with two assists, Orlando seemed to run out of steam in the fourth quarter. Chicago also had equally impressive nights from Luol Deng and J...

MINNEAPOLIS The drama is three months behind them in Orlando, and maybe it's helped. The Dwight Howard-less Orlando team is 2-1, and early on, it's posed a bigger challenge than most would have imagined.
Yes, Glen Davis is the focal point of their offense. Yes, they're hardly deep. But the Magic have been solid early, especially in terms of 3-point shooting; they'...

“Do You Believe in Magic…” If you recognize my pun as a song title, then your age is telling just as much as my decision to use it.
As I was reading and writing up various preseason team previews I was generally excited for the (then) upcoming NBA season. When it came to teams such as the Orlando Magic, however, I needed to turn to an episode of The Big Bang Theory or an Adam...
