On a tough Western Conference road trip, losses are expected. Even if you take Phoenix for granted, matchups against the Nuggets, Lakers, Warriors, and Blazers mean the Orlando Magic were probably going to come back home with more losses than wins on the 5-game stint.
Maybe that’s why it hurts more when they had a chance to steal another one but let it slip away. Despite building an 18-point lead in the third quarter, the Warriors whittled away at the lead behind their two (healthy) all-stars, ultimately defeating Orlando 116-110.
