The challenge for the Wolves Friday in Orlando was try and build off that, and not suffer a letdown because of it.
But despite a good night offensive, the undersized Wolves had trouble keeping up with the Magic on the glass in a 136-125 loss at Amway Center.
Orlando outrebounded the Wolves 54-33 and had 20 second-chance points on the night. Meanwhile, they couldn’t stop Terrence Ross, who had 19 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter as Orlando won for the fifth time in its last six games.
