With four seeding games left in the NBA restart, the Orlando Magic only need to take a small step to join the postseason lineup in the Eastern Conference.
If the past two games are any indication, the Magic still have some work to do if they want to take a step forward instead of backwards once they get there.
Orlando opened seeding play by rolling past Brooklyn and Sacramento, then absorbed losses to Indiana and Toronto – teams already in the playoffs. The Magic fell behind early and weren’t able to play their way clear of double-digit deficits.
