The Magic knew Sunday’s road game at Houston would already be an uphill battle without Paolo Banchero (left groin strain) in a meeting between two squads riding three-game winning streaks.
Then, hours before tip-off, Orlando learned it would also be without Jalen Suggs, who was ruled out due to a sore right groin.
But without two of its key players, Jamahl Mosley‘s squad still fought back and forth with the Rockets during a matchup that required more than 48 minutes of basketball inside Toyota Center.
