Orlando Magic use practice time to rest, reset and prepare

Coach Steve Clifford does not go home and watch NBA basketball. That is on doctor’s orders.

He said after his health scare last year his doctors asked him not to bring work home in the evening to make sure he gets some sleep. Clifford said he instead checks in early in the morning to watch film of the next opponent or important games and prepare for the day ahead. His evenings are filled watching TV, movies and Georgetown Hoyas basketball.

Clifford said he might glance at the scores before going to bed, but nothing more detailed than that.
