ORLANDO – At this stage of the Orlando Magic’s development there is little margin for error.
The Magic are too young and inexperienced to be able to stray away from their team principles and still have success against playoff-caliber squads.
In its last contest, a road affair against the Miami Heat on the second night of a back-to-back, Orlando learned that lesson the hard way. Its 18 turnovers – which turned into 21 fastbreak points for the Heat – and inability to protect the paint proved too costly to overcome.
Now, the Magic (1-3) will look to bounce back when they return to their home floor at Amway Center on Wednesday for a Southeast Division showdown with the Charlotte Hornets (3-1) at 7 p.
