Blazers 98, Magic 88: Another uninspiring effort ends in a lopsided Magic loss

Considering the lethargic end to their recent road trip, the Magic returned home looking to make amends and get another win on the board. In the way stood the Trail Blazers of Portland, eight games under .500 and still adjusting to life without Damian Lillard. Unfortunately, with head coach Jamahl Mosley looking on from the distance of health and safety protocols, Orlando committed many of the sins that were evident in their last start, playing with a noticeable lack of energy and execution as they succumbed 98-88.

After a Robin Lopez hook shot opened the scoring the Magic went cold, missing four straight from the field as well as a technical free throw as the Blazers ripped off a 7-0 burst.
