Orlando Magic Grades: Orlando Magic 130, New Orleans Pelicans 119

The Orlando Magic want to run. They want to take their chances in transition when they come up. But playing fast is not their forte. They are not a team that is going to take chances to create turnovers. They want to control the pace and set up their defense, their greatest strength.

The New Orleans Pelicans are the opposite. They are all energy, trying to race to the other end of the court and catch the defense sleeping. They are constant motion and hope they can catch defenses unaware.

A horse race is not a game the Magic can win most often.
