There’s going to be days like this during the latest Magic rebuild.
Facing a Bucks team hungry for a win after dropping three straight, the Magic not only never led in this one, but suffered one of the most lopsided home losses in their history.
“I just told the guys that we’re going to have some nights like this because it’s where we’re at,” Steve Clifford told reporters after the game. “Listen, it was a bad performance. I’m in charge of the team and we’ve got to do better.”
The Magic’s 124-87 loss to the Bucks on Sunday trails only a pair of 40-point beatdowns, — to the Jazz in 2017 and to the Pistons in 1991 — as the biggest home L’s.
