Kings 121, Magic 107: Magic struggle against the league’s worst defense

A Magic team that has been shooting the ball well of late, making nearly 50 percent of their attempts from deep over its last three games. A Kings team that has historically terrible on the defensive end, allowing over 120 points per game.

Seems like a good combination for the Magic, right?

Not so much.

The Magic suffered what was arguably their ugliest loss of the season. They never led, trailed by as many as 22, and lost to the Kings 121-107.

Only the Orlando Magic could make the worst defense in the NBA look like the 85 Bears

The Kings, coming off a four-day layoff, got off to a quick start.
