There are 10 games between the Orlando Magic and their goal. Ten games from considering the season a success or failure. Ten games between feeling accomplishment and feeling empty.
They have everything to lose and gain with each game and each moment. That is a lesson the team has had to learn from the beginning of the season. Each misstep and missed opportunity will sting. None more than the ones that come now.
Every loss feels like it has more meaning now. The pressure is ramped up. And the teams that are making the playoffs are starting to play their best.
