The Orlando Magic had to know going into their contest Friday night against the Washington Wizards that their margin of error to come away with a win was going to be razor thin.
Unfortunately for the home teamnot enough went right against their Atlantic Division foes, as the Wizards handed the Magic their third-consecutive loss, 119-100.
Orlando was down to only eight available players Friday as Cole Anthony, Mo Bamba, Wendell Carter Jr., R.J. Hampton, Gary Harris, and Moritz Wagner were all serving a suspension handed down by the NBA for their roles in an altercation with members of the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night (Kevon Harris, Admiral Schofield, and Franz Wagner were also suspended one-game by the NBA, but they will serve their suspension in Orlando’s next contest against Oklahoma City).
