That in of itself is an accomplishment for a team that failed to do so for more than half of the decade. To ensure that the Magic are still playing meaningful basketball when it truly matters - like in April, perhaps - Orlando must win games like the one they’ll play on Wednesday against the Bulls.
It will be the second game (and most favorable) of a six-game road trip for the Magic, who are set to face more challenging competition in Minnesota, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Utah.
