Depleted Magic battle but come up short against Nuggets
The Orlando Magic were on the second night of a back-to-back at the end of a five-game road trip against one of the league’s top teams with just eight available players.
The Denver Nuggets used a late 10-0 surge to pull away and hold off the Magic for a 119-109 victory Sunday night at Ball Arena.
Chuma Okeke and Terrence Ross each scored 19 points for the Magic (17-33). James Ennis had 17 while Wendell Carter Jr. and R.J. Hampton each finished with 16 points. Hampton’s total was a career-high.
