The Orlando Magic could not lay an egg like they did Saturday against the Portland Trail blazers. That was just not something that could be in the cards for them. They needed a game with energy and effort and execution.
For the most part Tuesday, Orlando got all three. The Magic were quick to pounce on the Nuggets with some fantastic ball movement and strong defense. Orlando opened up an 18-point lead and seemed poised to cruise to a victory, finding the right man and moving the ball extremely well.
The Nuggets made their run and cut the lead down to three.
