Last night, JJ Redick lit up the Magic for 26 points. Ben Simmons was 2 assists away from a triple-double, Tobias Harris scored 20+ for his 7th straight game, and Jimmy Butler was excellent in the final minutes. All of that proved to be too much for a Magic team who still found a way to shrink the deficit to just 2 points with 5 minutes remaining. Magic lose 114-106.
Now, the Magic dip to 10 in the Eastern Conference standings, and either the Heat or the Hornets will be the stand alone 8-seed after tonight, since they play each other.
Good news for the Magic, check out their upcoming schedule: Dallas, @Memphis, @Washington, Cleveland, Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis...
