The victories from the Orlando Magic’s 3-1 road trip, which concluded with a 119-113 Sunday win over the Charlotte Hornets, played out similarly.
The Magic fell behind early, by at least double digits in every first quarter, before locking in defensively during the second and winning the third to set themselves up for victories.
This was how their Jan. 30 win over the Philadelphia 76ers, where they trailed by 21 in the second, went. So did Friday’s victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sunday’s win at Spectrum Center followed a similar formula.
