Before the Orlando Magic boarded their flight to New York to play the Brooklyn Nets, team leaders pulled everyone aside and held a 20-minute meeting to get the team on track, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
The Magic had undoubtedly seen plenty of slippage, culminating in a four-game losing streak that the Magic snapped Friday in Brooklyn.
On Dec. 9, the Magic had the fifth best defensive rating in the league giving up 98.5 points per 100 possessions. A month later, Orlando sits with the 11th best defensive rating in the league with a 101.
