The Orlando Magic have made it clear they are done with excuses.
This game against the Atlanta Hawks had an excuse baked right into the schedule. An overnight trip from Milwaukee to Atlanta after a 9 p.m. Eastern game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Hawks had a back-to-back . . . at home.
Orlando did not land until 3 a.m. and would have to get physically ready to take on a young Atlanta team that likes to run and run some more.
If the Magic want to make the Playoffs, this is the kind of conditions they have to overcome and the kind of game they have to win.
