ORLANDO – Obviously angry over losing players and losing games, the Orlando Magic’s collective frustration bubbled over on another forgettable Friday night.
Quite frankly, it was somewhat refreshing to see some ire, disgust and venom come from the reeling Magic over how they were being treated by both the referees and the New Orleans Pelicans.
The injury-ravaged Magic were beaten 111-97 on Friday by Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins and the Pelicans, but at least they didn’t go quietly this time around. Orlando’s seventh straight loss came as it was whistled for four technical fouls – a sure sign of the team’s frustration over how its season has unraveled as numerous players have gone down to injuries.
