ORLANDO – Back on Nov. 2, the Orlando Magic sat precariously at 2-6, were in the throes of a four-game losing streak and had the unenviable task of having to face the always-rugged Spurs in San Antonio.
As has been the case most of the season, the Magic responded to the challenge against an elite team and played one of their most complete games in a 117-110 win in San Antonio. Ultimately, that feel-good victory jump-started a 7-2 stretch that helped Orlando climb above .500 for the first time since being 1-0.
Fast forward to the present and the Magic (14-19) find themselves in an eerily similar scenario.
