The Orlando Magic did not want the season to go on hiatus. At least, based on the way they were playing.
The team was rolling through a road trip, winning three of four games with rousing victories over the Houston Rockets and Memphis Grizzlies. The feeling on the plane heading home from Memphis, according to FOX Sports Florida’s Dante Marchitelli on the latest episode of Locked On Magic was this team was beginning to turn a corner and put all the pieces together.
This was not the time for a sudden stop in the season.
