The Orlando Magic’s season was a marathon that seemed incapable of ending. It would end of course. Every schedule eventually winds to a conclusion. And the Magic were seemingly limping to the end.
Injuries were as much a part of the season as anything else. It remained a part of the season in the final 20-plus games. They were not going anywhere. And without much to play for, the Magic were kind of playing out the string.
There was very little that was particularly memorable about the final 21 games. It just seemed like the Magic wanted to get it done.
