Mired in a 2-8 skid and sitting above only the Nets in the Eastern Conference standings, there isn’t much to look forward to for the Orlando Magic these days. They’re 6.5 games out of a playoff spot and it looks like general manager Rob Hennigan will be shown the door after yet another failed season.

Unfortunately, even his 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in an 18-point win over Chicago — the team’s first home win since Jan. 3 — can’t hide the fact that it’s all bad news here.. (17-38). Previous: . Phoenix Suns. 29. team. 66
