Orlando 113, Charlotte 93: Short-handed Magic get first win of season in a big way

It took until the second week of the 2022-23 NBA season, but the Orlando Magic have officially won a game.

And if they win again in Dallas to close out the weekend, that’s ‘called a winning streak’. Sorry, couldn’t resist the Major League reference.

After playing four of their first five games on the road, the Magic returned home Friday night in front of a raucous Amway Center gathering to defeat their division-rival Charlotte Hornets 113-93.

Orlando played inspired and energized basketball from the opening tip, despite being down six rotation players (four guards) due to various injuries.
