Magic Crush Nash-Less Suns
The Orlando Magic did something they have really struggled do recently; beat down an inferior opponent. Recently we’ve seen the Magic struggle with the likes of Golden State and Sacramento (twice).

Turnovers Are A Big Problem For The Orlando Magic
Turnovers have been a major problem for the Orlando Magic this season.

Turnover-Plagued Magic Can’t Complete Another Comeback, Fall To Blazers
LaMarcus Aldridge led the Blazers with 24 points while Jason Richardson had 22 points for the Magic.
The Magic stayed in the game during the first half, largely in part because the Blazers couldn’t hit open shots. Of course, that wasn’t the only reason the Magic stayed in the game, their defense wasn’t terrible and they made just enough shots.
Early in the third quarter, the...
