The Lead
The undermanned Orlando Magic have given themselves a chance to win recent games with their stellar defense. What’s denied them from securing any victories since the All-Star break, however, has been their turnovers. Orlando turned the ball over a season-high 23 times on Sunday against the Miami Heat in a 102-97 loss at Amway Center.
