Orlando Magic Grades: Orlando Magic 115, Portland Trail Blazers 109

The Orlando Magic put forth a strong offensive performance in their 115-109 win on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Orlando Magic continued to confuse everyone Friday night, snapping a four-game losing streak by pulling out a 115-109 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center. This was the first time the Magic won in Portland since Dwight Howard played for Orlando and Damian Lillard played for Weber State.

The Magic started the game extremely hot, hitting their first nine field goal attempts en route to a 20-3 start. Portland narrowed the gap fairly quickly. By the second half, the game turned into a back-and-forth offensive onslaught.

Both teams struggled defensively, as both teams usually do, and the game came down to the Magic hanging strong and hitting some big time shots.

The Magic finished the game shooting 49.4 percent from the field, 10 for 18 from three, and 23 for 26 from the line. This was a good sign offensively, albeit against a poor defensive team that has issues defending guards and big men.
