TrueMagicFan07 675 Report post Posted March 22, 2014 MAGIC - JAZZ PREVIEW ESPN GO.com Friday, March 21, 2014 It's been a long season for the Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz, who sit at the bottom of their respective divisions. Both teams still appear to have plenty of fight in them, though. Victor Oladipo and fellow rookie Trey Burke go toe-to-toe as the visiting Magic try to avoid a seventh straight loss to the Jazz on Saturday night. Orlando (19-50) has dropped seven in a row overall after falling 109-93 at Phoenix on Wednesday. Tobias Harris scored 23 points off the bench and Arron Afflalo added 20, but the Magic were outscored 56-34 in the paint and 25-7 in transition. Orlando, which was without starting point guard Jameer Nelson due to a sore knee, also lost center Nikola Vucevic late in the first quarter after he drew two quick technical fouls. "We should never use excuses to begin with. That's how it's got to be," Harris told the team's official website. "If we're not going to come to work and play hard, you are hurting your teammates and your team. We're not going to win blaming excuses." Oladipo finished with 14 points and nine assists, but he shot just 6 of 18 and committed six turnovers. The Magic have been consistently bad against the Jazz, dropping six straight in the series. However, the last four of those defeats have all come by six points or less or gone to overtime. The Jazz (22-47) have dropped 11 of 12, including six straight by an average of 14.0 points. Utah cut into what was an 18-point deficit but couldn't make it all the way back in Wednesday's 96-86 loss at Memphis.

~O~ 565 Report post Posted March 23, 2014 During that small three game winning streak, Harkless was playing the best defense I've ever seen him play. We've witnessed progression and flashes however the light needs to stay on longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
