Magic vs. Warriors preview: The defending champs, on the road, on a back-to-back, seems unfair

LeBron one day, the Warriors the next.

The challenges continue to come for Orlando on what is a grueling West Coast trip. But for this year’s version of the Magic seems more adept at handling the challenges that come their way.

After suffering a lopsided loss to the Nuggets in the opener of their five-game Western swing on Friday, the Magic rebounded with an impressive 108-104 win over LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. It was the first time the Magic defeated the Lakers on their home court since 2012 and, having defeated the Lakers twice in about a week’s time, the Magic swept the season series with the Lakers for just the second time in the franchise’s 30-year history.
