On this six-game road trip, the Orlando Magic blew double-digit leads in three different time zones.
I have to check with Elias Sports Bureau, but I’d imagine that has never happened in NBA history.
A 19-point lead against Minnesota. A 15-point lead in Los Angeles. A 21-point lead in Utah.
Losses in each. Combine that with two blowout losses in Charlotte and Sacramento, and one victory over the hapless Bulls in Chicago, and the Magic finished the trip 1-5.
Given the circumstances, Wednesday’s 106-93 loss to the Jazz was the worst of all, bringing what once seemed like a somewhat promising Magic season to a new low.
