Orlando struggles to regain the Magic

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Thank goodness for the Brooklyn Nets. If not for them, the Orlando Magic would be in a full throttle nose dive. As it is, Orlando has lost six straight games, including one at home to the Philadelphia 76ers, dropping to 20-23. The Sixers, at 6-39, are clearly the worst team in the NBA. The Magic ended 2015 with a victory over the Nets on December at the Amway Center to end the year at 19-13. First-year Coach Scott Skiles promised…

The Orlando Magic defeated the Houston Rockets 104-101 on Wednesday night at the Amway Center. It was a game they most likely would not have won a year ago. Orlando survived two big runs from the Rockets to come away with a hard-earned victory. One of those runs came in the fourth quarter, when a probable win became very much in doubt. Orlando jumped out to a 20-10 lead halfway through the first quarter on jumper by Nikola Vucevic. James…

Magic goes toe-to-toe with New York, comes out on top

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The way the New York Knicks shot the ball on Monday, it would take an exception effort by a visiting team to beat them. The Orlando Magic were up to the challenge and played one of their best games of the year to come away with a 107-99 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Kyle Korver, Hawks shoot down Magic, 103-100

in Sports/Top Headlines by

When playing the Atlanta Hawks, it’s a very good idea to know exactly where Kyle Korver is on the court at all times. Korver, one of the greatest 3-point shooters in NBA history, has hit key shots throughout his career. Unfortunately, the Orlando Magic lost sight of Korver and left him open in the final minute. His wide-open 3-pointer from the corner with 43 seconds remaining broke a tie and gave the Hawks a 103-100 victory over the Magic on…

in Sports/Top Headlines by

The Orlando Magic are looking more like a playoff caliber team every day. For the second consecutive game, they put on a shooting exhibition, this time drilling the Charlotte Hornets, 113-98. All five Magic starters scored in double figures led by the rejuvenated Channing Frye’s 17 points. Frye, the much heralded but disappointing forward out of Arizona, had his second straight strong performance for Orlando. He was 5 for 7 from the field, all three-pointers, as he followed up his…

Magic bounce back from Cleveland debacle to throttle Nets

After playing even for a quarter, the Magic steadily pulled away to break a two-game skid and erase many of the bad memories from Friday. Jarrett Jack hit…
