The Orlando Magic improved to 19-13 with a win over the Brooklyn Nets, but it was a victory with plenty of stains and mediocre play in it.
The Orlando Magic now have started to get some of the wins that maybe they should not.
Tonight was one of those games, as Orlando shot just 43 percent from the floor while turning it over four times more than the Brooklyn Nets. Yet, Orlando walked away with a ‘W’ and is now seeded No. 4 in the Eastern Conference, early though it is.
It is hard to beam over the performances of Magic players from tonight, and even the handful of players graded here really just outperformed their weak competition.
The Magic were not at their best against the Nets, but sometimes second-rate ball is enough to knock off a team like the Nets who still have yet to capture their 10th victory of the season.
