Magic’s Offense Explodes, But Defense Falters in Loss to Kings

The Lead

The 130 points scored by the Orlando Magic on Wednesday was a season high. Problem was their opponent, the Sacramento Kings, set their own season high in scoring, and that says a lot considering it was one point more than their prior season best which came in a triple-overtime contest against the Lakers. The Magic had no answer defensively for the scorching Kings, who shot 54.6 percent overall and 44.1 percent from 3-point range in their 142-130 victory at Golden 1 Center.

Top Performers

No surprise considering some of his best games this season have come after a poor or mediocre performance, but Cole Anthony bounced back from his season-low nine-point performance on Monday against the Warriors with a season-tying-high 33 points in Sacramento.
