The Orlando Magic were as low as any team could be last Friday. Their five-game win streak was a distant memory, they had just been embarrassed on their home floor and had struggled to find any offensive flow in losing three of four games.
Maybe they just needed a mental break and some time in the gym to work out the kinks and rediscover their offense again. That appeared to do the trick.
The Orlando Magic came out of the gate in rhythm. The shots were falling and the ball was moving quickly. Charlotte did not have time for its defense to close out or catch up.
