Orlando Magic Daily Podcast Episode 2
This week the Magic went 1-2 and found their offense a little bit. I review this past week's games in this week's podcast:

Follow the leader
The fire was missing from the Magic. Jameer Nelson noticed it and was frustrated by it. Finally after six games sidelined with an injury there was something he could do about it.
Trailing by 10 points in the third quarter, Jacque Vaughn stood in his coach's huddle while Nelson huddled with his teammates. There, Nelson constructively vented his frustration with the Magic&...
Raptors come up big in fourth
Orlando can fight. That much is clear as the Magic erased a double-digit deficit from the first half and took a two-point lead into the fourth quarter. The Magic seemed like they had the momentum to roll into another big road victory.

Raptors 97, Magic 86
TORONTO -- The Orlando Magic was able to overhaul one double-digit deficit to the Toronto Raptors. It wasn't able to do it twice. After leading by as many as 13 points in the first half, the Raptors (3-7) found themselves trailing by two after three quarters but came on strong in the fourth to pick up a 97-86 home win over the Magic (3-6). DeMar DeRozan led the way with 20...
