The Magic are 2-0 since the season restarted, shelling out a combined 260 points in the first two games.
Orlando swapped playoff-seeding spots (from eighth to seventh) after beating the Nets in the first game, and then beat an exciting but inconsistent Kings team by 16 points in the second game. Orlando’s third game during this eight-game regular season finale pits the Magic against the Indiana Pacers.
Personally, I have a special distaste for the Pacers. That’s not really fair to Indiana, but watching them succeed, thanks in part to two former Magic players on the roster, stirs up a special kind of ire in my gut.
