Orlando Magic failing to take on the necessary identity
The Orlando Magic were not playing intelligent basketball on either end of the court in its 107-93 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
A glance at the box score yields some puzzling results from the Orlando Magic’s 107-93 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
On one hand, the Magic were “forcing” turnovers, but a lot of those Clippers’ miscues were just the result of Chris Paul and company toying with the Magic in the half court. It was Clippers’ carelessness to blame for the miscues, not standout Magic defense.
And beyond those Clippers’ turnovers producing some easy buckets, nothing else came easy for the Magic. Orlando shot just 42 percent from the field and 4 of 20 from 3-point range.
