The Orlando Magic like to give directives at the end of their seasons. The team is aiming to get better and grow. So they come up with their pithy catchphrase.
At the end of last season, the directive was to “level up.” The fun of a free season for a young team that needed to re-establish itself was done. Now the team wanted to take that baseline and grow up a little bit more.
Getting the No. 1 pick helps, but going from 22 to 34 wins certainly made it feel like the team leveled up.
