No More Blowouts

In the preseason, and for the first four games of the regular season, every Orlando Magic game was a blowout.  That trend has really turned around.  After a narrow loss to Toronto on Friday night, and a one point win over New Jersey Saturday night, the Magic have played five consecutive games that came down to the final minutes of the 4th quarter.  Beginning with a three point victory over Charlotte on Saturday, November 6, the Magic played tight games against Atlanta, Utah, Toronto and the Nets, winning three, losing two.  Losing two of the close games was no surprise, but dropping two at home was.  Last year, the Magic lost just 7 times at home all season.
