Every NBA team has a moment where they get humbled. There are simply too many games in an 82-game season for there not to be one off night. Last year’s 73-9 Golden State Warriors got beat by 18 points to the Detroit Pistons.
There will be nights when things just do not go a team’s way. Even at the very top.
When it comes to the Orlando Magic, though, every small deviation can be some cause for concern. The team is essentially a .500 team, precariously balanced between winning team and success and losing team and failure.
