Orlando Magic try to create a bit of normal in an odd Amway Center

The Orlando Magic opened the doors to the Amway Center for the first time, creating a somewhat odd experience as basketball resumed.

On TV, the game looks the same.

The sound effects, the cheers, the chants, the crowd noise. The game itself looks the same and feels the same on camera. This is NBA basketball. Once the ball is tipped, there is only the game.

That is how it should feel at least.
