The Magic returned to Orlando from the West Coast in desperate need of a win. Instead they suffered one of the most lopsided and humiliating home losses in franchise history.
The Magic, coming off a 1-3 West Coast trip, struggled mightily on the offensive end and had no answer for Rodney Hood and the Jazz defensively as they were embarrased by Utah, 125-85. The 40-point loss matches the largest margin of defeat the Magic have suffered on their home court on franchise history, tying a 121-81 loss to the Detroit Pistons in 1991.
The Jazz at one point held a 46-point lead.
