Up by eight around the midway point of the final quarter, things were looking good for the Orlando Magic to tip off their season with an important victory over the visiting Washington Wizards. What followed was the team crumbling as it turned the ball over and missed shots on possession after possession, allowing the Wiz to take the lead in the blink of an eye. The young, resilient Magic didn't quitm however, firing a 9-0 run of their own to counter the Wizards' 12-0 run.
The Magic's response to that run comes as a great sign even though they eventually fell to the more experienced Wizards by a technical knockout.
