Orlando Magic’s bench continues to lose team’s rhythm
The Orlando Magic were in the flow in the second half and expanding their lead. A lackluster bench game halted that momentum and was too much to overcome.
The Orlando Magic were flying high midway through the third quarter. They had just taken a 10-point lead, moving the ball with ease and draining outside shots. The Magic were grinding away and giving themselves all the opportunities to jump back into it.
The team showed a lot of poise to build that 10-point lead. It was gutsy and gritty. A team biding its time and grinding down a team that — by record at least — was worse than them. Orlando looked in control and ready to dominate the game and run away.
