The Magic’s victory over the Toronto Raptors could serve as a win that gets their season back on track. Or it could simply be a tease.
That, of course, all depends on how Orlando plays moving forward. Will a blowout win over the team with the best record in the NBA spark a Magic offense that had looked inept for a majority of the month of December? Or will the Magic revert back to the team that struggled to reach 100 points while dropping seven of nine games, including losses to the Bulls and Suns?
The first test comes during a Sunday matinee against the Detroit Pistons, in what will be the final game of the Magic’s homestand before they set out on a six-game road trip.
