LOS ANGELES – On one hand, the Orlando Magic have plenty to be happy about what with them reaching the quarter pole of the NBA’s marathon 82-game season with a better record, a better defense and a dramatically better competitiveness against elite teams.
On the other hand, the Magic can’t help but wonder now where they would be had they been able to avoid the heartbreak of repeated fourth-quarter collapses against the likes of Oklahoma City, Houston, Washington (twice) and the Los Angeles Clippers.
