Every young team in the NBA has a learning curve to go through to reach levels of play that can, at the least potentially, carry them to bigger and better things. For some teams, that learning curve is small. For others, that learning curve is time consuming and, at times, frustrating.
For the Orlando Magic, it's turning into a long and frustrating time that sees pockets of inconsistent play continue to come back and bite the team. Against the Miami Heat on Saturday, that poor play cost them, with the team falling apart in the second half en route to a tough loss late.
