As the clock struck zero for the final time on Friday night, the Orlando Magic's eight game marathon of a preseason had finally come to an end. After a rocky start that saw the team lose two of its first three games, the Magic put together a strong finish, rounding out the preseason with five straight victories. While they had some stretches of really good play, they had equally as many stretches with poor play that nearly cost them in many of their exhibitions.
Following their 10-point victory on Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, head coach Scott Skiles said he wasn't sure if happy was the right word to describe how his team played this preseason.
